A meeting of the leaders of Punjab’s largest farmer union, BKU Ekta Ugrahan, with the three-member committee of state Cabinet ministers has just begun.
Tript Rajinder Singh Bajwa, Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa and Sukhbinder Singh Sarkaria received Punjab Bhavan immediately after the obituary references got over at the Vidhan Sabha. The ministers are here to convince the union leadership to scale down their agitation.
Union president Joginder Singh Ugrahan said they might not relent from the continued stir till the govt took effective steps to counter the agriculture laws gone by the Centre. “We also want the Congress govt to withdraw the amendments made by the government in 2017 to the APMC Act,” he said.
