Punjab Newsline, Chandigarh, March 3-
Punjab CM Bhagwant Singh Mann on Monday categorically said that his doors are always open for talks with the farmers but inconvenience and harassment of the general public on name of agitation should be avoided.
Interacting with the farmers during a meeting at Punjab Bhawan today, the Chief Minister said that the government is always ready to resolve the issues pertaining to various sections of society through negotiations so the trouble to the common man through rail or road blockades must be avoided. He said that such action causes problems to the general people due to which they turn against the agitators thereby creating discord in the society. Bhagwant Singh Mann said that unfortunately the common man has to suffer a lot due to such protests which is totally unwarranted and undesirable.
The Chief Minister said that though protest is democratic right of the farmers but they should also think that it is bringing huge loss to the state.
