Faridkot/Fatehgarh Sahib, July 17

As part of farmers’ strategy to urge MPs to raise their issue forcefully during the upcoming monsoon session of Parliament, farm leaders of Faridkot area today met MP Mohammad Sadiq and handed him over a letter, asking him to be present in the House on all days of the session, raise the three farm laws’ issue, obstruct business and not stage a walkout.

A similar letter was given to Fatehgarh Sahib MP Amar Singh by leaders of the SKM who had called on him to hand over the “voters’ whip”.

The farmers said if Opposition MPs defied the “whip” in Parliament, they would face farmers’ opposition like BJP leaders. Sadiq assured the farmers of honouring the whip and raising the issue in Parliament. Amar Singh, too, said the Congress MPs would forcefully oppose the three laws as these were “death warrants” for the farming community. — TNS
