The Hindu
The farmer of the country also represents Guru Teg Bahadur, he says
Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge, at a meeting of the committee chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi to organise the 400th birth anniversary of the ninth Sikh Guru Teg Bahadur, raised the issue of the farmers’ protests and requested him to end the stalemate. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Home Minister Amit Shah were among the other prominent members who attended the virtual meeting on Thursday. “I would also like to make a request. The farmers’ movement has been going on for 133 days. The farmer of the country also represents the Guru and has the largest participation of the farmers of Punjab. The Prime Minister had said he was at a distance of a phone call. But that distance is not yet over. I urge the Prime Minister to take the initiative to find a solution by paying immediate attention to the demands of the farmers,” Mr. Kharge was quoted as saying in a statement released by the Congress.
