Centre should call Parliament session and repeal farm laws 2020: Sukhbir Singh Badal
Amid farmers protest against farm laws 2020, Shiromani Akali Dal President Sukhbir Singh Badal on Monday said that the party condemns the efforts made by the government of India to defame farmers. "SAD condemns GOI efforts to defame farmers with a bogey of talks to create the impression that it's reasonable and farmers are wrong. This is an attempt to tire out farmers. Farmer organisations have clearly stated they don’t want these three farm laws 2020," the SAD President said.
