Chandigarh, December 12 (IANS). Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupendra Singh Hooda reacted on ‘One Nation, One Election’. He said that a concrete decision will be taken on this bill when it is presented in Parliament.
On the fast unto death of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, he said that his condition has worsened. The government should immediately intervene and resolve this matter. The situation that exists is serious and the government should talk to the farmers and find a solution soon.
He said that the demand of farmers is not new. During talks with the government two years ago, it was decided that a committee would be formed to guarantee MSP, but till now no progress has been made on this. The demand of farmers for MSP is reasonable and the government should take immediate action on this.
Referring to the farmers’ march to Delhi, he said that the government had earlier objected to bringing tractor-trolleys, but when the farmers have come out on foot, what objection should the government have? Farmers have every right to express their views under democratic rights. It is their right to block roads, but if someone takes law into their own hands, the government has the right to take action.
Referring to the law and order situation of Haryana, Hooda verbally attacked the Naib Singh Saini government. He said that the number of crimes has increased in Haryana and the state government is completely sleeping. Referring to the bomb blast in Gurgaon, Hooda said that the government should take immediate action on it. Today people are feeling unsafe in Haryana. Everyone is feeling scared.
He said that if Anil Vij has to go to Delhi then he does not need to take anyone’s permission. Delhi is the capital of the country. Why should we seek permission from anyone to express our views? He also said that it is not necessary to take permission for a demonstration or any political program, provided it is within the ambit of law.
He further asked the question that with whose permission does Anil Vij go to Delhi? If I want to go to Delhi, I don’t need anyone’s permission, it is the capital of the country.
