Chandigarh: Shiromani Akali Dal is the sole and long standing champion of farmers’ rights and has always stood by them. The party fully supports their right to peaceful democratic protest.
SAD governments have implemented unprecedented facilities for the farm sector including free power and many other measures. .
"I appeal to Govt of India to immediately fulfil all the commitments already made to farmers. We also demand that Kejriwal and Bhagwant Mann must honour their solemn commitment to give MSP on 17 crops including wheat and paddy as promised by them to farmers earlier. These two AAP leaders must stop double crossing farmers as they had done during the last agitation.
We urge the centre and Punjab govt to find a peaceful resolution of farmers’ just demands through negotiations and not through repression," he said.
