SAD dharnas in every constituency from tomorrow
Description
The Shiromani Akali Dal today announced it would organise protests in every constituency on April 5 to protest against the Amarinder Singh-led Congress government.“The dharnas will focus on hike in domestic power tariff from Rs 5 to Rs 10 per unit, state taxes accounting for the bulk of the hike in the prices of diesel and petrol, denial of post-matric scholarship to Dalits and on the Amarinder-BJP collusion against farmers on DBT as a means to punish farmers for their peaceful struggle against the three farm laws. The protests will also focus on the breakdown of law and order machinery in the state,” said Harcharan Bains, principal adviser of party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal.A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting of the party core committee that met today. Bains said the meeting condemned “the attack on Rakesh Tikait by BJP activists last night” and demanded a high-level judicial probe to expose the forces behind the attack. — TNS
