In support of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on a hunger strike, and in protest against the BJP-led Central Government, Congress leaders burned effigies of the Central Government at various locations today. Youth Congress leader Banni Khaira expressed concern over Dallewal’s deteriorating health and urged both the Central and state governments to abandon their rigid stance and accept the farmers’ demands.
Khaira warned that if anything were to happen to Dallewal, the Central Government, along with the Punjab and Haryana state governments, would bear full responsibility.
