Chandigarh, September 11

 The Shiromani Akali Dal has decided to observe September 17 as black day on completion of one year of enactment of three farm laws.

Party workers, alongside farmers, will hold a protest march from Gurdwara Rakabganj to Parliament.

A decision to this effect was taken in a meeting of party MLA s, district presidents, Halqa Sewadars, legislators, and members of the core committee was presided over by party president Sukhbir Singh Badal.

Senior SAD vice-president Daljit Singh Cheema said on Saturday that party leaders and workers along with farmers of Punjab will participate in this protest march and he appealed to everyone to participate wholeheartedly in the same.

He said that Akali Dal is the only political party that had sacrificed ministership and alliance for the cause of farmers whereas others only claimed to have resignation letters in their pockets, which were never tendered. He said that Akali Dal has stood like a rock with farmers’ cause and will continue to do so till the black laws were not repealed.
