In their letter to the Speaker, the parties said, “We urge you to form a JPC, led by an Opposition member, to ascertain details of the total number of lives lost in the ongoing Kisan Andolan and suggest ways to rehabilitate victim families. The panel could also take feedback from farmers and their representatives about their reservations vis a vis three agricultural laws and submit the same to the government for necessary action.”

The letter has been signed among others by Akali Dal MP and former minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, NCP’s Supriya Sule, BSP’s Danish Ali and NC’s Hasnain Masoodi.
