Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Sunday slammed the Centre for allegedly spreading "misinformation" about the state's farmers with its recent letter on the plight of "bonded labourers". He said it was "yet another conspiracy to defame Punjab's farmers", whom the central government and the BJP have been "persistently trying to malign them by dubbing them as terrorists, urban naxals and goons" to derail their agitation against Centre's new farm laws. The chief minister was responding to the letter sent by the Ministry of Home Affairs to the Punjab government on the plight of 58 "bonded labourers" rescued from the state. He castigated the Centre over its "unwarranted charges" of farmers using people as bonded labourers in Punjab and also termed the letter a "bundle of lies".More Related News
