Chandigarh, Aug. 11 -- Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Warring on Monday welcomed the withdrawal of the 'Land Pooling Policy' by the Punjab government.

"Farmers stand vindicated in their opposition to the land pooling policy, which would not only have turned them into paupers but would have damaged Punjab socially, economically and environmentally", he said, while expressing relief that better sense prevailed on the government.

Reacting to the development, Warring said it was a victory for the farmers and congratulated them for standing firm against this policy, whose obvious aim was to rob farmers of land worth lakhs of crores of rupees without any compensation or their consent.

The PCC president also thanked thousands ...
