Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Sunday demanded immediate cancellation of licenses of two seed companies accused of engineering the multi-crore inter-state Seed Scam which had affected the livelihood of farmers of Punjab and neighbouring States.
“Following complaints and protests by farmers in Jalandhar and other places, the State Agriculture Department had started taking action against few seed stores for selling spurious seeds of PR-128 and PR-129 paddy variety to farmers. However, no concrete action has been taken against Brar Seeds, Ludhiana, and Karnal Agri Seeds, Dera Baba Nanak, despite the fact that their involvement in multi-crore seed scam had come to light on May 11 when the Agriculture Department got an FIR registered in the case,” said senior SAD leaders computer science major jobs Singh Bhundur and Sikander Singh Maluka.
They said that it was clear that that the accused are being given political shelter and this is why the police are not taking action against them.
They demanded immediate suspension of the licenses of Ludhiana seed store as well as Dera Baba Nanak based seed producer. They also demanded custodial interrogation of the proprietors of both managements to unravel the Seed Scam and expose those who had patronized the scamsters.
