Amritsar, December 12, 2024 (Yes Punjab News)
Expressing concern over the deteriorating health of farm leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, President of Bhartiya Kisan Union Ekta Sidhupur, who is protesting on the Punjab-Haryana border for the legitimate demands of farmers, the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) President Advocate Harjinder Singh Dhami said that the Centre and state governments should give up their stubborn attitude and accept the legitimate demands of farmers.
Advocate Dhami said that on the one hand, the Prime Minister of the country, Shri Narendra Modi, addresses the farmers as Annadata (food giver), while the ground situation is that the Annadata of the country is being forced to struggle on the streets and the governments are torturing them in various ways.
He said that a law to guarantee Minimum Support Price (MSP) for all crops is a rightful and legitimate demand of the farmers and if the Centre government wants the farmers to give up the path of struggle and go to their homes, then the law for guaranteeing MSP should be passed in the Parliament without delay.
Advocate Dhami said that the health of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal is deteriorating every day and if anything happens to him, then the direct responsibility will be on the Centre as well as the state governments of Punjab and Haryana.
He said that hunger strike has no place in Sikh tradition and principle, therefore, it is an appeal to the farmer leaders and especially Jagjit Singh Dallewal to take the farmers’ struggle forward with Chardi Kala (high spirit) so that the government can be made to accept the rightful demands.
