Farmers Tractor March Delhi: Amid the Republic Day celebrations, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh on Tuesday said that the Centre had deliberately kept Punjab out of the high-powered committee initially as they knew that the voices of protest would rise from here, and declared that “these voices will continue to rise” till the farmers’ interests are secured. Punjab was included in the committee only after he personally wrote to the Centre on the issue, said Captain Amarinder Singh, making it clear that neither he nor his government was ever asked or consulted about the black Farm Laws.
