Supreme Court To Resume Hearing On Punjab Govt's Contempt Plea Over Dallewal's Hospitalization
The Supreme Court of India is set to resume hearings on a contempt plea against the Punjab government regarding its failure to transfer farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal to a hospital. Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on a hunger strike since November 26, is protesting for statutory guarantees on the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops. Despite a December 28 deadline for compliance, Punjab authorities cited potential risks of violence and collateral damage as reasons for delays.
