The on-going farmers’ agitation has implications for national security, says Capt. Amarinder
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh called on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday and urged him to repeal the farm laws and amend the relevant law to make farmers eligible for free legal aid. A statement from the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) said Capt Singh had cautioned the Prime Minister that the farmers’ agitation had “the potential of posing security threat to Punjab and the country with Pak-backed anti-India forces looking to exploit the farmers who are disgruntled with the government”. He submitted separate letters on two different issues, the CMO said.More Related News
