BATHINDA: Over a month after backing the ongoing farmer protest and asking PM Narendra Modi and home minister Amit Shah not to offend the farmers, Meghalaya governor Satya Pal Malik has reiterated his support for the farmers’ protest and condemned the central government’s attitude towards them.
Malik, in a letter to Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri MLA Sombir Sangwan, who is also head of Sangwan Khap, has said that 300 farmers have died during the protests, but the central government has “neither condoled their deaths”, nor felt the need to resume talks, but is “defaming the protest”. Lauding the farmers for their tough fight, he has urged them to maintain unity. He has also assured that he will try to do whatever the khap expects of him.
