Govt must give in to demands of farmers, withdraw laws unconditionally: SAD

| @indiablooms | Dec 10, 2020, at 01:27 am

Chandigarh/UNI: The Shiromani Akali Dal Wednesday urged the Centre to stop playing games with the innocent farmers of the country and immediately and unconditionally withdraw the three controversial Acts and accept all the other demands of the farmers.

The SAD said "it fully backs the farmers' rejection of the proposals sent by the Government of India, saying that these proposals were nothing but diversionary tactics and tricks which have rightly been rejected by the farmers.

"We are with the farmers in everything and in every way."

In a statement here, senior Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia said there was nothing new in these proposals.

"These in fact are the same proposals which had been rejected by the SAD before quitting the government and the NDA to stand with our farmers."

"It is so tragic that the country's annadata, the farmers, are battling cruel and biting cold along with families ranging from barely 14-day old infants to elders in their late eighties and nineties," said the Akali leader.

The government should "abandon its stubborn refusal to listen to the farmers and announce unqualified and unconditional acceptance of their demands. The govt says these Acts are meant for the farmers' welfare. If the farmers don't want these, it is absolutely unreasonable, wrong and undemocratic to thrust these upon them," said the SAD leader.
