Punjabi singer Ranjit Bawa has questioned actor and BJP MP from Gurdaspur Sunny Deol over his silence on the farmers’ issue.

“Sir you are MP from Gurdaspur, @iamsunnydeol, you should do something for farmers, kam se kam kisan de haqq vich awaz maar do, tuhanu punjabia bahut hope naal MP banaya, me also from Gurdaspur, Majhe valeya jis nu vi jittaya mudke vadya e nahi, palo votan (sic),” Ranjit Bawa tweeted.

The singer has been speaking out for the farmers for the past few days. On Saturday, he raised concern over the Bills, saying these would benefit private companies which would first buy crops from farmers at low prices, and then buy their lands. He also tweeted that farmers would be unnecessarily harassed to sell the crops on their own. Bawa has announced that he would soon come up with a song over this issue.
