Fulfil all commitments made to farmers: Sukhbir S Badal to centre

CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal stated that SAD was the sole and long standing champion of farmers’ rights and has always stood by them.

He said that SAD fully supports the farmer's right to peaceful democratic protest. SAD govts 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", Badal said.

Sukhbir Badal said, "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".
