Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) kisan wing president Kultar Singh Sidhwan and other party leaders today expressed grief over the suicide committed by a farmer couple of Lokkhera village near Longowal and demanded financial aid for the victims’ family.

In a statement, the AAP leaders said due to the anti-farmer policies of the state government, farmers were being forced to commit suicide, adding the government had failed to fulfil its poll promise of a complete loan waiver. — TNS
