Jalandhar/Amritsar, May 24

SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal today appealed to the party rank and file to hoist black flags atop their houses on May 26 to demand repeal of the three agricultural laws as well as express solidarity with the protesting farmers. The ongoing kisan morcha at Delhi borders will complete six months on Wednesday.

The SAD president also requested Prime Minister Narendra Modi to talk to the farmers immediately to resolve all their grievances, saying “there is no scope for egos in a democracy and that only dictatorships adopted an intransigent attitude towards the people”.

Sukhbir was in Jalandhar to inaugurate the eighth Covid care centre started by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee in the state at the Guru Nanak Sangat Hospital at Kalra village.

Meanwhile, Congress MLA Navjot Singh Sidhu also announced that he would put up black flags atop both his houses in Amritsar and Patiala tomorrow in support of the farmers’ struggle. — TNS
