Punjab CM Calls Lookout Notices Issued To Farmers

Stating that most of the farmers who have been sent notice are small farmers with small landholdings, the Punjab Chief Minister said, "Where will they flee? Most of them are small farmers with small landholdings and not big corporate raiders like Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi and Mehul Coksi, who had fled over the past few years after looting the country of billions of rupees."

Days after the tractor parade which was meant to highlight the demands of the protesting farmer unions dissolved into anarchy on the streets of the national capital on Republic Day, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Wednesday condemned the issuance of lookout notices sent to farmer leaders for causing violence in Delhi. Calling these lookout notices "absolutely wrong", Amarinder Singh demanded the withdrawal of the notices.

Stating that the higher authorities failed to stop bigwigs like Vijay Mallya and others when they robbed the country for billions of rupees, the Chief Minister urged the Centre to immediately direct the Delhi Police to withdraw the lookout notices. Besides this, Amarinder Singh also questioned Deli Police's decision to name farmer leaders in the FIRs of the Republic Dau violence without having any evidence against them. 


The Punjab Chief Minister said, "Not a single one of them had reportedly been found so far to have made any inflammatory speeches or seen indulging in any provocative acts, he said. If the police have any evidence of the involvement of any of these leaders, they should make it public."


In order to ensure that stern action can be taken against the real culprit, the Minister urged the Centre to conduct a free and fair investigation into the incidents that took place in the national capital on January 26. This statement from him comes after the Delhi Police on Thursday issued a lookout notice (LOC) against some farmer leaders with the help of immigration. As a part of the process, the passport of these leaders will be seized, said the Delhi Police.
