Jogi Ram Sihag, JJP MLA from Barwala, has refused to take charge as Housing Board Haryana chairman to protest the recent farm laws.

Addressing a press conference on Friday, Sihag said he stood by farmers opposing the farm laws. He said he supported the state government and was thankful for the offer.

The JJP MLA stated that the farmers had been facing problems in procurement during this kharif season. He said he would not accept any government post as as he understood their pain and problems.

He said he had talked to Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala over the farm laws and put forth his point of view. — TNS
