Kurukshetra, November 29

Newly elected Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee chief Bibi Jagir Kaur today said that the SGPC would continue to provide uninterrupted food and medical aid to the farmers belonging to Haryana and Punjab who are protesting against the Centre’s farm laws.

She slammed the CMs of Haryana and Punjab and accused them of trying to weaken the farmers’ agitation.

She was here at Gurdwara Chhevin Patshahi. She addressed SGPC members and supporters on this occasion.

She assigned duties to SGPC members and directed them to ensure that langar and medical aid are supplied uninterruptedly. She told them to go to the dharna site to support farmers.

Bibi Jagir Kaur alleged, “Despite the use of force, farmers kept their cool and didn’t clash with the police. The governments of Haryana and Punjab are working on the directions of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. They are trying to weaken the farmers’ struggle.”

The SGPC chief criticised the Haryana Government and Chief Minister for booking agitating farmers under attempt-to-murder charges. She alleged it was strange that the Prime Minister has no time for farmers.
