Akalis meet TMC netas to strategise
Description
NEW DELHI: A five-member Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) delegation led by party spokesperson and former MP Prem Singh Chandumajra came down to Trinamool Bhavan in Kolkata on Saturday to strategize the future course of the farmers’ protest against the three contentious farm laws enacted by the Centre. The delegation came a day after West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee spoke with the protesting farmers and sent TMC’s Rajya Sabha leader Derek O’Brien to the stir site at the Delhi-Haryana border in support of their cause. Functionaries of both SAD and TMC decided to meet politicians of other regional parties in a week or two before making a joint march to Rashtrapati Bhavan or going for a joint showdown. “ Our leader Parkash Singh Badal had a talk with (Mamata) Didi. We will work out a joint action plan,” Chandumajra said.
