“AAP is exploiting farmer’s struggle for their petty electoral agenda in Punjab with blatant lies and brazenly false propaganda”, said Capt. Amarinder Singh, C.M Punjab.

The protest has already stretched from for 20 days and now more aggressive marches with banners, posters, and slogans against the ruling government are coming into picture. These farmers from Punjab and Haryana are demanding the revoke of entire farm bill and we need to wait and see how this matter comes to negotiation leading to a final settlement.
