Reacting to the
Supreme Court’s suggestion to the Centre to put implementation of the farm laws on hold, all three platforms of farmer unions in Punjab have said that they will react to it only after consulting their legal team as well as the unions of other states.
Buta Singh Burjgill, President of BKU (Dakaunda), said, “Many lawyers are providing us services free of cost and they have supported our struggle since long. Hence they will study the document of the Supreme Court and accordingly we will be able to comment.” Burjgill is part of the 32 farmer organisations of Punjab who are protesting at a common front along the Singhu border.
