The proposed paper factory and the environment
I took a clear and consistent stand on the proposed paper factory because the matter was directly connected with the interests of my constituency and had significant public implications. More than 10,000 people came together in opposition to the proposed project in its present form, making it an important milestone in establishing BJP’s presence and credibility in Shri Chamkaur Sahib.
My position was never against development. I have always maintained that a factory is welcome in our constituency, but development cannot come at the cost of public interest, environmental concerns and our historical heritage.
The issue also raised serious concerns regarding the land and its earlier conversion, including the Panchayati land issue and its subsequent classification as banjar zameen.
