On Thursday, Union minister and Shiromani Akali Dal’s (SAD) Lok Sabha MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal resigned from the central government as a protest against the three farm bills that have been introduced by the Modi government in Parliament. Harsimrat Kaur Badal, who held the portfolio of Union Minister for Food Processing, said she is “proud” to stand with the farmers against the bills.
Talking on Harsimrat’s exit from the BJP party, Congress leader Digvijay Singh congratulated her as she is standing strong in support of farmers. He also warned the Deputy Cheif Minister of Haryana, Dushyant Chautala to not support BJP on the anti-farmer bills.
According to ANI, Digvijay said “I want to congratulate Harmisrat Singh Badal for resigning from govt in support of farmers & would warn Dushyant Chautala not to support BJP on these anti-farmer bills, otherwise he will suffer big defeat in future. He should support farmers”.
He further added, “Congress govt had made APMC Act in favour of farmers. But now, any big trader can open a Mandi & under these new anti-farmer Bills, any dispute at Mandi will be handled by officials. All these anti-farmer 4 ordinances should be seen in totality.”
