“People have made Narendra Modi the prime minister and it is his duty to listen to the voice of people, said Badal, whose party earlier pulled out of the National Democratic Alliance over the farm laws.
He said instead of doing this, the Centre first “linked the agitation to religion and separatists and now pitting brother against brother”.
“We have always fought for the rights of farmers and the downtrodden. We are also assisting the farmer agitation but are pained that the Union government is unmoved by the suffering of farmers,” said Badal.
The SAD chief further accused the Centre of “misusing” the Income Tax Department to target “arhtiyas” (commission agents).
