Chandigarh, July 23

The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Punjab, on Friday protested against BJP leader and Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi for calling farmers ‘hooligans’ and burnt her effigies across the state, demanding an apology.

Expressing anger against the ruling Narendra Modi-led central government, AAP workers and leaders said the party would keep raising the voice of farmers from streets to Parliament until the three laws were repealed. In a statement issued from the party headquarters here, AAP’s Kisan Wing state president and MLA Kultar Singh Sandhwan said the AAP leaders and workers staged protests against the Modi government in Amritsar, Jalandhar, Hoshiarpur, Gurdaspur, Pathankot, Nawanshahr, Ludhiana and Patiala among some other districts. — TNS
