Meanwhile, just after Kejriwal announcement, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh described it as “theatrics”. Singh mentioned the Kejriwal government had “backstabbed” the farmers by “shamelessly” notifying 1 of the farm laws on November 23. “And now, they are indulging in theatrics by announcing that they would be sitting on a fast in support of the farmers’ hunger strike on Monday,” he mentioned in a statement.
“Do you have no shame? At a time when our farmers are braving the winter cold on the roads outside your city and many of them are dying fighting for their rights, all you can think of is how to make the most of the opportunity to promote your political interests. Instead of doing anything constructive to help the protesting farmers, who are sitting outside your city for the past 17 days to seek justice, you and your party are busy playing politics,” the Congress leader mentioned.
In connected improvement, a group of farmers from Uttarakhand met Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and supported the farm laws. They mentioned that the 3 farm laws enacted by the Centre in September will bring revolutionary adjustments in the agricultural sector.
“The farmers from Uttarakhand met today, understood the agricultural reform bills and gave their suggestions. I thank all of them on behalf of the government. The doors of the government are always open for the farmers,” Tomar mentioned.
