Chandigarh : Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab commendatory welcomed the appeal of Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to the people of the state to vacate the encroached lands of Panchayat and government by May 31st. Aam Aadmi Party Chief Spokesperson Malwinder Singh Kang while praising this decision of Mann government said that AAP government is fully committed to protect the capital, resources and assets of Punjab. Therefore, the illegal occupation from all resources will be removed so that the rule of law can be restored in the state.

Addressing a press conference at the party headquarters here on Wednesday, Malwinder Singh Kang said, “People of Punjab voted for change and resultantly today following the direction of CM Bhagwant Mann Rural development and Panchayat Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal is freeing the panchayat and government lands, whereas during SAD, BJP and Congress governments people in power used to encroach public lands and properties.” He said that during previous governments, Panchayat and government lands and other resources were grievously looted and situation was so bad that no political leader was ready to give up government houses, pension and illegally occupied land.

Reiterating the appeal of the Chief Minister, Kang said, “No legal action will be taken by the Punjab government against the occupiers of Panchayat and government lands till May 31st, but after that old expenses will be recovered from the occupiers and legal action will be taken.” Kang assured that no action will be taken out of revenge or political vendetta. Thanking the families who cooperated with the Punjab government he shared that a family in Samana constituency of Patiala district has handed over more than 40 acres of land to the government on their own and Panchayat Minister Kuldeep Singh Dhaliwal has wished them prosperity.

Malwinder Singh Kang claimed, “Bhagwant Mann’s government is working on a mission, not a commission. The government will protect the land, properties, resources and the capital of Punjab in every possible way and will take stern legal action against those who looted them.” He advised to the occupiers to free government and panchayat lands to make Punjab prosperous and peaceful state once again.
