SAD to reschedule ongoing ‘100-day yatra’ amid farmer protests
The Hindu
“We are totally with the farmers’ movement,” says party chief Badal.
Amid protests by farmers during the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD)’s ongoing ‘100-day yatra’, the party has decided to reschedule the tour by six days to facilitate a dialogue with representatives of farmers’ organisations. In a bid to take on the ruling Congress and the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) ahead of the Assembly election in Punjab, SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal last month started the yatra across 100 constituencies in the State. The campaign has been named ‘Gal Punjab Di.’ Mr. Badal said a three-member committee of senior SAD leaders had been set up, which will talk to the farmers’ organisations to reiterate the party’s unflinching support to their movement and to eliminate any possibility of misunderstanding.
