(Dr Daljit Singh Cheema asks PM and BJP President to express regret for their remarks)
Chandigarh, October 23 (wishavwarta):- The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) today said
it was extremely unfortunate that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President J P Nadda were depicting the
agitation of the farmers of the country as ‘bicholiyon ka sangharsh’ and
asked them not to sprinkle salt on the wounds of the farming
community.
Talking to newsmen here, former minister Dr Daljit Singh Cheema said
the truth was that the farmers were agitating against the black laws
passed by the central government. “Farmers understand that the laws
will eventually destroy their future generations. If the centre does not
want to listen to the voice of the farmers and repeal the three Agri
marketing laws it should at least not do anything to hurt their
sentiments.”
Dr Daljit Cheema requested both the Prime Minister and the BJP
President to express regret for their anti-farmer statements. He also
requested the government to talk to the farmers in earnest and resolve
their grievances. He said it was unfortunate that the farmers had been
insulted during their last visit to Delhi when no minister deigned it fit to
meet them. EOM
