I request Pb CM @capt_amarinder to collectively write to the Union govt on behalf all political parties in #Punjab to get a clear cut answer as to whether there is any truth in the propaganda about the so-called end to #MSP system for the purchase of foodgrains. 1/5

.@Akali_Dal_ is ready to sign any document seeking a written answer to this query. This isn't all. In Parl also during the discussion on #Ordinance, we will insist on an assurance from the GOI that #MSP and Assured Marketing system will remain in place. 2/5
#AllPartyMeet

For @Akali_Dal_ no ministry, govt & alliance is beyond the welfare of ‘anndaata’. We are ready to make any sacrifice for the welfare of farmers & disadvantaged sections of society. We'll steadfastly continue to protect the rights of Punjabis & the core principle of federalism.3/5

Also, we are in favour of reduction of #diesel prices as it's affecting farm economy. I urge that #AllPartyMeeting resolves to ensure reduction of Rs10 Punjab State VAT share in diesel prices. Once it's done we'll go to the Centre to demand a further reduction in dieselprices.4/5

Further, an #AllPartyMeeting should also be held to discuss the repercussions of illicit liquor, seed & ration scams on #Punjab & Punjabis. The State has suffered a loss of Rs 5,600 cr in #LiquorScam even as the CM admitted that 30,000 qtls of spurious seed were sold in Pb. 5/5
