On Farmers’ Delhi March, Haryana Agriculture Minister ‘Won’t Let Anyone Play With Law And Order Situation’
While farmers press for their demands related to compensation and agricultural laws, Haryana’s Agriculture Minister Shyan Singh Rana downplayed the protest.
“They have no issues. The previous farmers’ agitation had an issue- the three farm laws. Those three laws were later repealed by PM Narendra Modi and he even apologised to them. The farmers’ agitation has caused losses to Punjab,” Shyan Singh Rana told reporters in Karnal.
