Chandigarh, September 28

Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene personally and invite the farmers for talks without any preconditions to revoke the three farm laws.

Felicitating the farmers of the country, especially those from Punjab and Haryana, for the complete success of the peaceful bandh, Badal said this should show the government that the people of the country stood firmly behind their ‘annadata’.   

Badal urged the Prime Minister to convene a special session of Parliament to revoke the farm bills. He said if the government had heeded the SAD advice on the issue, the situation would have been different.

He said the government must invite farmer organisations for talks without any precondition and without any further loss of time. He reiterated his party’s total support to the farmers’ cause.
