âWe appeal to PM again… not a question of Punjab or Haryana aloneâ: Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher
Amid a third round of talks with the central government ending in a stalemate, the General Secretary of Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, Sarwan Singh Pandher on Friday urged an intervention on part of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address the farmersâ issues adding that they would like to solve the issues âamicablyâ.Â
Addressing a press conference on Friday, the farmer leader raised concerns over the central governmentâs use of para-military forces to resist the farmers that have left hundreds injured.Â
âThe demands of the farmers and farm labourers of the country are united, everyone is fighting together. Look, now there are 54 serious injuries. The way the overall number is 400. People have suffered huge losses, so this is continuously happening. So we have raised most of these things in the meeting yesterday and we will again appeal to the Honorable Prime Minister through you.ââIt is not appropriate that military force is imposed on them, give us the right to protest peacefully, if you do not want us to demand or accept our demands and as far as the demands are concerned, there should be long discussion on every demand,â Mr. Pandher said.Â
