Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Saturday lashed out at the centre, accusing it of trying to intimidate commission agents known as Arhityas supporting the farmers who are protesting against its new agricultural laws. Captain Singh said the income tax raids against some Punjab Arhtiyas was an obvious pressure tactic to curb their democratic right and freedom said these oppressive actions will backfire against the ruling BJP. A total of 14 Arhtiyas across Punjab have received notices from the IT department, his office said in statement.
