He also alleged that Sukhbir Singh Badal is trying to 'hijack' the farmers' movement to further his own party's agenda.
The chief minister asked her to answer three questions, "Why did Harsimrat Kaur Badal not oppose the agricultural ordinances?", When she was first approved in the Union Cabinet, she was a member of it. Why did Sukhbir not support the state government when the meeting was called to form a consensus on anti-farmer laws?
He asked, "Why did the Akalis boycott the session of the Punjab Legislative Assembly, in which other parties (except the BJP) voted in favor of the proposal brought about the agricultural laws?"
