Govt doesn't cares about health of veteran farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal
Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh/New Delhi, December 16-
Lok Sabha member from Sangrur Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer on Monday raised the issue of farmers in Parliament in a thunderous manner and accused the Narendra Modi government of reneging on it's promises. He said that farmers are being prevented from coming to the national capital and veteran farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal has been on hunger strike for 21 days but the government is not worried at all.
Meet Hayer said that when the farmers had to stage protests to get the draconian laws repealed, 700 farmers were martyred during that time and they were promised in writing the MSP guarantee but the same has not been fulfilled yet. Jagjit Singh Dallewal is sitting on the Khanauri border not for his personal interests but for the sake of the farmers of the country. While the government has waived off Rs. 10 lakh Crore of a few hundred industrialists, the loans of farmers who constitute half the population are not being waived.
