"Khattar Sahab was removed because BJP understood that...": Amarinder Singh Raja on Union Minister's remarks on farmer protest

Sirsa (Haryana) [India], September 26 (ANI): Targeting Union Minister Manohar Lal Khattar over his remarks on the farmer protest, Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring said on Thursday that Khattar sahab was removed because the Bharatiya Janata Party had understood that as long as he is there, they will not get a single seat.
"Khattar Sahab was removed because the BJP understood that as long as Khattar sahab is there, they will not get a single seat. (Bhupinder) Hooda sahab had said that as soon as the Congress government is formed, the borders will be opened and farmers will be allowed to go to Delhi," Warring said.
Union Minister and former Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Wednesday slammed the protests at the Haryana-Punjab border, saying that those who are carrying out these protests are not farmers and that the Supreme Court will soon give out the decision to stop such people from crossing the line.
"There is a big issue. The route to Punjab at the (state) border, is closed...We had made all the plans to open this route. But the people sitting on that side are not farmers. In the garb of farmers, there are a few people who want to impair the system and destabilise the government...You also know who they are...Today people of Haryana are happy that they did not let such people set foot in the state..." said Khattar while addressing party workers in Haryana's Ambala.

"We moved to the court and people from the other side also represented themselves. Now, the case is in the Supreme Court. The SC has made a committee and they are deciding on how to arrive at a solution. The committee will also make them sign some affidavit to keep so that those who call themselves farmers don't cross the line and if something of that sort happens the court will take cognizance of it. The supreme court is independently working on it and will consider the convenience of people," he added.
Haryana will go to the polls on October 5 and the results for both Haryana and JK will be declared on October 8. (ANI)
