\"\"Chief Ministers of Punjab and Haryana were on Thursday engaged in twitter spat as farmers from Punjab, marched towards Delhi in protest against the farm laws and were denied entry into Haryana.<\/span><\/p>\n

Capt Amarinder Singh warned the BJP-led government against pushing farmers to the brink.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a sad irony that on #ConstitutionDay2020 the constitutional right of farmers is being oppressed in this manner. Let them pass @mlkhattarji, don’t push them to the brink. Let them take their voice to Delhi peacefully,\u201d Amarinder tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFor nearly 2 months farmers have been protesting peacefully in Punjab without any problem. Why is Haryana govt provoking them by resorting to force? Don’t the farmers have the right to pass peacefully through a public highway?\u201d Amarinder added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hitting back, Manohar Lal Khattar accused Amarinder of indulging in \u2018cheap politics\u2019 and asked him to stop \u2018inciting innocent farmers\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cTime for your Lies, Deception and Propaganda is over – let the people see your real face. Please stop putting the lives of people in danger during the Corona pandemic. I urge you to not play with the lives of the people – atleast avoid cheap politics during the time of pandemic,\u201d Khattar said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve been trying to reach out to you for the last 3 days but sadly you decided to stay unreachable – is this how serious you are for farmer’s issues? You’re only tweeting and running away from talks, Why?\u201d he added.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c@capt_amarinderji, I’ve said it earlier and I’m saying it again, I’ll leave politics if there’ll be any trouble on the MSP – therefore, please stop inciting innocent farmers,\u201d the Haryana Chief Minister tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thousands of protesting farmers from\u00a0Punjab\u00a0today marched to Delhi to protest against the Centre\u2019s farm laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

Reacting to Khattar\u2019s tweets, Singh told the Haryana CM that he should have ‘tried to talk’ to the farmers before the ‘Dilli Chalo’ march.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs for endangering lives during #COVID19, have you forgotten that it was @BJP4India led central govt that pushed through those #FarmLaws amid the pandemic, uncaring about the impact they’d have on our farmers? Why didn’t you speak out then @mlkhattar ji,\u201d Punjab CM tweeted.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShocked at your response @mlkhattarji. It’s the farmers who’ve to be convinced on MSP, not me. You should’ve tried to talk to them before their #DilliChalo. And if you think I\u2019m inciting farmers then why are Haryana farmers also marching to Delhi?\u201d Amarinder questioned.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
