Sonepat, December 17
The farmers’ joint forum on Thursday paid tributes to Baba Ram Singh, who reportedly committed suicide near the dharna site on Wednesday evening.
The farmer leaders left the central stage for two hours and shabad kirtan was organised to pay homage to Baba Ram Singh.
No slogan was raised from the stage. All speakers paid tributes to Baba Ram Singh and no celebrity was allowed on the stage.
Farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal criticised Bibi Jagir Kaur, SGPC chief, for saying the SAD was supporting the farmers’ movement and had sent its groups to join the ongoing agitation.
Rajewal further said there was no link between the SAD and the farmers’ agitation. He warned that they would not tolerate political figures who were trying to malign the image of the farmers’ protest.
On the Supreme Court’s decision, the forum said it had not got any document so far and it would decide after consulting advocates.
Farmer leader Bijju said the committee would decide after consulting four senior counsel — Prashant Bhushan, Dushyant Dave, HS Phoolka and Colin Gonsalves.
Meanwhile, condemning the police action at the Chilla border and the arrest of farmer leader Rishipal Ambawata, they said the government should desist from such acts.
