He said that whether it was for the freedom of our country or at the time of the green revolution Punjabis were always on the forefront. The bloody massacre at Jallianwala Bagh on 13 April 1919, the day of Baisakhi, can never be forgotten. On this day thousands of unarmed Punjabis were killed in firing at the order of a British officer. This incident burnt a fire among the people of our nation for freedom.
While addressing the media afterwards he said that the government of the Aam Aadmi Party is the true pro-Punjab government. The Mann government in Punjab is working excellently and diligently for the prosperity and betterment of Punjab. The people gave such a big opportunity to the Aam Aadmi government. The government has also proved itself by taking so many pro-people decisions for the betterment of the people of Punjab. Whether it is a matter of taking action against corruption or providing employment.
He said that Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann understands the pain of the farmers. Bhagwant Mann himself sent his MLAs to the villages to take stock of the losses due to unseasonal rain. Only the Chief Minister of the common people can do this. Riku appealed to the people to stand firmly with Aam Aadmi Party to save Punjab.
