Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday, 21 December, hit out at the central government over its ‘efforts to defame farmers with bogey of talks’. This was to create an impression that while the government was being reasonable, the farmers were in the wrong, he added.
Badal further stated that this was an attempt to tire out the farmers.
“SAD condemns GOI efforts to defame farmers with bogey of talks to create impression that it’s reasonable & farmers are wrong. This is an attempt to tire out farmers. Farmer orgs have clearly stated they don’t want these 3 agri laws. Centre should call Parl session & repeal them (sic).”Sukhbir Singh Badal, SAD chief
