"Don't Think Farmers Of Punjab Are Weak": Akali Dal's Warning To Ally BJP
The BJP ally Shiromani Akali Dal has said the three agri-sector bills, which have set off a storm of protests in various states including Punjab and Haryana, be sent to a select committee before any decision be taken on them. "Don't think that the farmers of Punjab are weak," said Akali Dal's Naresh Gujral. The Akali Dal, which initially supported the bills, put up an opposition to the bills after realising the depth of farmers' resentment on the issue.
