Lathicharge no solution, talks must: Baljit Singh Daduwal

Amritsar, September 8

Haryana Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (HSGMC) president Baljit Singh Daduwal expressed concern over the standoff between farmers and the Centre over the three farm laws.

After paying obeisance at the Golden Temple today, he said lathicharge against farmers was never a solution and the issues should be resolved amicably across the table.

“Lathicharge, be it in Moga or Karnal, should have been avoided as violence will never yield good results. In Punjab, the issue of sugarcane price was resolved after the government raised the procurement price. Similarly, the friction between the Centre and farmers should be settled through dialogue. The Centre should also take an initiative to break the ice and fulfil their genuine demands ,” he said.

He appealed to the Punjab and Haryana governments to compensate the kin of those farmers who died during the protest on the Delhi borders. — TNS
