The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Badal urged PM Modi to "intervene personally, immediately and effectively," and invite farmers for talks without preconditions to revoke the three "Black Acts" on agri-marketing.
Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal today urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to invite protesting farmers for talks and also demanded a special session of Parliament to revoke the three "black" agri laws.
The statement comes a day after farmers under the aegis of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha or SKM held a Bharat Bandh to demand repeal of the three laws. The SKM is an umbrella body of over 40 farm unions spearheading the agitation.
The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president urged PM Modi to "intervene personally, immediately and effectively," and invite farmers for talks without preconditions to revoke the three "Black Acts" on agri-marketing.
Felicitating farmers of the country, especially those from Punjab and Haryana, for the "complete success" of the peaceful Bandh, Mr Badal said this should show the government that the people of the entire country stood solidly behind their ''annadata'' (food provider).
