Jakhar, while addressing the launching of the fair said that there can be no food or nutritional security until farmers have financial security, which the central government was destroying with these new laws.
Lashing out at Harsimrat Kaur Badal, who quitted union cabinet to protest against farm ordinances, Jakhar said that it was just her compulsion to show false sympathy with the farmers. “If SAD had little self-respect, they would have announced to end the alliance with the BJP over their destroy farmers, destroy Punjab conspiracy,” he said.

He said that had Harsimrat and party president Sukhbir Singh Badal stood with farmers and put pressure on their ally on very first meeting the current situation may not have arisen. “Actually, Sukhbir was already an advocate to this black law and unsuccessfully tried to befool the farmers,” he added.
On acceptance of Harsimrat’s resignation by the President, Jakhar said that he was expecting that the Prime Minister Narendra Modi showing some regard to former Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, who was also a founder member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), would call his to reconsider the resignation by his daughter-in-law but the Prime Minister didn’t take minutes to accept the resignation.

Meanwhile, Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh in his address congratulated and appreciated the efforts of Cabinet Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu for conducting smooth and successful procurement of the wheat crop amid COVID-19 pandemic.
