Farmers' Protest: Former Union Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal on Monday distributed wheat strands outside the Parliament to remind the government of farmers' hard work. Shiromani Akali Dal has been raising farmers' voices and has been protesting against farm laws outside the Parliament during the Monsoon Session 2021.
Harsimrat Kaur Badal said that she was distributing wheat strands to make the government realize about farmers. "We have brought wheat strands today so that government may think about 'annadata' after looking at this. The government is not talking about farmers who have been working hard to feed us," she said.
