Deccan Chronicle  

New Delhi: AAP member Sandeep Kumar Pathak on Friday accused the Centre of creating an "artificial crisis" in Punjab by disturbing the ecosystem of an agrarian state, in which farmers, Arhtiyas and rice millers - all are facing losses. "An artificial crisis has been created in Punjab in which farmers, Arhtiyas, and rice millers face loss," he said. "When you do not have space to store at godowns and with rice millers, procurement would be hit," said the AAP leader adding this resulted in long queues by farmers, to sell their products in mandis. "The Tamil Nadu Chief Minister has written a letter to the prime minister to release Rs 2,000 crore for interim relief," he said urging the government to act compassionately.
