Mr Sukhbir Badal said that both the SAD Delhi unit and DSGMC would make arrangements for ‘langar’ for farmers who will collect in Delhi on November 26-27 besides providing other essential items to them. He asked both Mr Kalka and Mr Sirsa to coordinate with the farmer organizations in this regard.
He said the SAD was ready to extend more specific help to the farmer organizations as per their desire. “The SAD has a glorious heritage of participating in movements of farmers as well as the poor and under privileged sections of society. We will continue to do so and fulfill any duty assigned to us”.
Mr Badal also simultaneously requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to resolve the grievances of the farmers at the earliest. He said the centre should scrap the three contentious central legislations on agricultural marketing which had been rejected by the farming community.
