SAD (A) workers to court arrest

Bathinda, March 1

Leaders of the SAD (Amritsar) today raised a question mark on the way the agitation started by farmer unions against the three central farm laws was being run.

Addressing a press conference, senior leader Prof Mohinderpal Singh said the unions were not performing their duties in public interest. They should have raised the issue of release of Sikh youths in connection with the January 26 incident, besides harassment of women and children, he said.

They said the party would stand by the farmers and soldiers and would oppose any wrong done to them.

Prof Singh said their workers would court arrest in Delhi seeking the release of arrested farmers, cancellation of FIRs, repeal of the farm laws and legal provisions for MSP. First such group headed by women, including Harpal Kaur Sangrur, Rupinderjeet Kaur, Gurmeet Kaur, Deepinder Kaur, Gurmeet Kaur, Ranjit and Harjeet Kaur, would leave for Delhi from Takth Damdama Sahib at Talwandi Sabo on March 2. — TNS
