Aam Aadmi Party leader and noted comedian Gurpreet Ghuggi today criticized BJP MP Gopal Shetty for his statement that the farmers don't  commit suicide due to unemployment and starvation but a fashion and trend of killing themselves is going on. Disapproving the statement, Ghuggi said that whatever said is so insensitive and shows MP and his Party’s real face on farmer’s issues. “If committing suicide is in fashion then why don’t BJP leader and his family follow the trend?” asked Ghuggi.Ghuggi said that at a time when in Maharashtra 124 farmers have committed suicide in the first 46 days of the year 2016, this type of statement is even distressing for the families of the deceased farmers. 

He also criticized BJP-Akali alliance government in Punjab for not paying heed to the farmer’s issues in the state. “Farmers in the state are under debt and are taking extreme steps of committing suicides and Sukhbir is talking about launching 4 G net in Punjab” Ghuggi said. He said that Sukhbir should come out of ‘Fool’s paradise’ and concentrate on fulfilling the basic needs of the people rather that making tall claims.Ghuggi said that there is no use of ‘Digital India’ program initiated by Modi since the ‘Food provider’ is dying of starvation. Ghuggi also slammed so called ‘Masiha of Farmers’, Parkash Singh Badal for maintaining silence over the bilious statement of his ally party MP.
