BJP’s oldest ally SAD quits alliance on black laws

BJP’s oldest ally SAD quits alliance on black laws

Chandigarh, Sep 27 (UNI) The highest decision making body of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) core committee at its emergency meeting here last night unanimously decided to pull out of the BJP -led NDA alliance because of the central government's stubborn refusal to give statutory legislative guarantees to protect assured marketing of farmers crops at Minimum Support Price and its continued insensitivity to Punjabi and Sikh issues like excluding the Punjabi language as the official language in Jammu and Kashmir.
The government's decision on Farm Bills is deeply injurious to the interests not only of the farmers but also of Khet mazdoor, traders, arhtiyas and the Dalits who depend on the well being of agriculture, they said.

The meeting was presided over by the SAD president Sardar Sukhbir Singh Badal.
The decision came at the end of a marathon meeting at the party headquarters lasting over three hours.

Later, addressing media persons, party Sukhbir Singh Badal said that SAD will continue to stand by its core principles of peace and communal harmony and of guarding the interests of Punjab, Punjabi in general and Sikhs and farmers in particular.

He said that the decision has been taken after deep deliberations with the people of Punjab especially party workers and farmers, farm labour, traders, arhtiyas and other poor sections of society.
