After Punjab sports and education minister Pargat Singh alleged that decision to delay procurement of paddy is the result of a conspiracy between BJP and former chief minister Amarinder Singh, the Captain said that people of Punjab knows him and asked the minister to show the evidence.
Captain also asked Pargat Singh to give proof of the “lies” being spread by the latter. Taking to Twitter, Media Advisor to Captain Amarinder Singh, Raveen Thukral said, “What nonsense? Do you really think the people of Punjab will believe I’d ever collude with @BJP4India to delay procurement? And have you forgotten it affected BJP-led Haryana too? Or are you too naive to understand these things?: @capt_amarinder to @13pargatsingh”
“And do you have any proof for these lies? Or are you so irresponsible you believe you can get away with such trash? People of Punjab know me & know I always have and will stand with the farmers. I expect honesty from a former Indian hockey Capt.’ @capt_amarinder to @13pargatsingh,” he said.
Meanwhile, Pargat Singh in a Facebook post said that, “Kickstarted the paddy procurement at Maqsudan Grain Market, District Jalandhar today. Smooth procurement and timely payment of paddy will be ensured and I promise that farmers will not face any problem during the procurement.”
