Kanwar Pal Gujjar Interview: ‘I blame China… 100%’

As farmers protesting in opposition to the Centre’s new agriculture legal guidelines blocked roads at a number of locations throughout Punjab and Haryana on a name given by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha for a nationwide ‘Chakka Jam,’ The Indian Express spoke to Kanwar Pal Gujjar, Haryana Education Minister and BJP chief.
How do you see the continuing agitation?
The means they (the protesters) and a few anti-social components indulged in violence (on January 26), there may be anger in your complete nation. Everybody is condemning it and I additionally condemn it. There is nothing within the farm legal guidelines deserving opposition, like there was nothing to be opposed within the CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act). All three legal guidelines had been handed after a 19-year-long research by the Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha. But the farmers have been misled that their land can be taken by Adani, Ambani, Ramdev.
What do you suppose led to the Republic Day violence?
I consider, 100 per cent, that China’s fingers are behind this. The cause is that after the pandemic, a lot of large industries had been anticipated to maneuver to India from China. That’s why, to disturb the regulation and order and environment right here, it opted for such techniques. And the individuals from their (China) social gathering, the Communists, are leaders of this agitation.
But the BJP is going through anger in Haryana.
This is completely fallacious. If the Lok Sabha has launched the regulation, it was shaped along with your (votes). If you may have any objection, go to court docket. You don’t obey the court docket, it shaped a panel of 4 agriculture specialists however they (the protesters) stated they gained’t meet them too.
