Farm group invites Hema Malini to talk laws

JALANDHAR: Farm group Kandhi Kisan Sangharash Committee has written a letter to BJP MP Hema Malini, inviting her to Punjab and to “explain” to them how the three contentious farm laws are beneficial for the farmers. The committee has offered to pay the the air fare and expenses for her stay in a five-star hotel for a week. The letter, sent by committee chairman Bhupinder Singh Ghuman and vice chairman Jarnail Singh Garhdiwal, said Punjabis have been looking up to Hema Malini with respect as she is the wife of actor Dharmendra, who is loved by the people of the state. “It was hurting when you said farmers could not understand the laws when 100 people have already died in this agitation. Our committee has decided to invite you so that you can explain the farm bills (laws) which, according to you, farmers have not be able to understand,” the letter reads. “We have decided we shall arrange your stay in a five-star hotel, and farmers and labourers would pay for it,” the letter reads.
