A Punjab Police officer has confirmed the things written in the letter to the newspaper on the condition of anonymity, but he says that the results of this investigation are ‘unrealistic’.The letter written by the Center states, “Inquiries from workers found from the border areas like Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Ferozepur and Abohar revealed that either of them were mentally incapacitated or were in weak condition to be given bonded labor. Those arrested were from poor families in far-flung areas of Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. “
Referring to human trafficking in the letter, it is said that they are brought from their homes in the name of good salaries and bonded labor is done here. They are given drugs to work in the fields for a long time, which causes them physical and mental harm.
Jagmohan Singh says that the central government is now playing another communal card after calling us ‘Khalistani and terrorists’. Why is the survey conducted in BSF 2019-20 now being sent to the Punjab government when the performance of farmers is at its peak?
