Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, whose fast-unto-death entered the 46th day on Friday, has shared a video message targeting the Punjab unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
In a two-minute-58-second-long video, the farmer leader said he had been told that the Punjab unit of the BJP had approached the Akal Takht, urging the Jathedar to direct him to end his fast.
“However, I feel that the BJP leaders are going in the wrong direction. Instead of approaching the Akal Takht, they should be approaching the office of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and seek his intervention to resolve the matter,” he said.
“You should be going to the office of Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar, who has already expressed his concerns on our issue. You must also visit the office of the Agriculture Minister (Shivraj Singh Chouhan) and the office of Home Minister Amit Shah.”
Dallewal said his motive behind the fast was to seek the acceptance of the demands of farmers, and that he would end it once the Centre agreed to the demands.
