"So far, the Government of India has not listened to them, now they want to end their struggle with Dadagiri. Therefore, all opposition parties are unanimous that the farmers of the country are being persecuted," he added.
"Today is a momentous day for democracy. Shiromani Akali Dal has taken lead to become voice of farmers in Parliament by registering strong protest against efforts to suppress them by boycotting President’s address. We'll raise our voice against this tyrannical govt until 3 Agri Laws are repealed," he had said earlier.
He had also said that "One whose heart beats for farmers can never lose this Battle! It is unfortunate to see UP police resorting to dictatorial measures with Rakesh Tikait, the senior farmer leader. Every farmer stands with Rakesh ji."
