The Punjab Congress, led by Vice President Sunil Jakhar, on Friday held a protest dharna in Ludhiana in support of the industries and traders striking against the Modi government’s ill-conceived demonetisation move.
Party president Captain Amarinder Singh could not join the protesters due to his scheduled meeting with Prime Minister Narendr Modi on the farm loan waiver issue in New Delhi. However, Jakhar informed the industrialists that Capt will soon meet them, along with small businessmen, entrepreneurs and traders, to take their views and suggestions on battling the long-term ill-effects of demonetisation, which he described as a whim of just one man (Modi), who had pretensions of being an economist.
Expressing solidarity with the agitating industries and traders, Jakhar said while the Congress, led by Rahul Gandhi, had already cornered Modi and his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) over the issue, the Punjab Congress will also take up the matter on war-footing and address the woes of trade and industry in the state on priority as soon as it comes to power.
