No question of deputing police officers to negotiate with protesting farmers, says Punjab CM ANI | Updated: Jan 08, 2021 23:13 IST
Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], January 8 (ANI): Rejecting the allegations by the opposition parties, Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh on Friday said there was no question of deputing police officers to negotiate with farmers protesting at the Delhi border.
Amarinder Singh said in a statement that the Punjab government having no role to play in the negotiations with farmers, the Chief Minister refuted the charges being made by Akali and AAP leaders. Anyone who believes that a couple of police officers can negotiate with the farmers or persuade the Kisan leaders to accept the Centre s suggestions on amendments to the farm laws is really naive, the Chief Minister remarked.
