Kejriwal Leaves Meeting in Huff as Farmers Quiz Delhi CM on Support for Article 370 Move https://thewire.in/politics/arvind-kejriwal-farmers-article-370
Farmers' leader Gurjant Singh Mansa told 'The Wire' that a politician who had supported the move to read down Article 370 could not fight for more power to states and farmers.
In a viral vdeo, Gurjant Singh Mansa, the district vice-president of the Punjab Kisan Union, is seen asking Kejriwal whether he thinks that the reading down of Article 370 is right or wrong. Hearing this question, Kejriwal asks, “How come this is a farmer’s issue?”
Gurjant then says, “It is an issue of the rights of farmers and the state. Those who make such rules for us are the same people who made these three farm laws.”
During the meeting, farmer leaders had a heated exchange of words with Kejriwal over more issues like more powers to states, the farm laws, the Union government’s move to increase the Border Security Force’s (BSF) jurisdiction from 15 km to 50 km in Punjab, the long pending issue of Sutlej Yamuna Link (SYL) canal and others.
