Chautala meets Khattar over protests

Amid the ongoing protests over the agriculture reform Bills, Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, whose Jannayak Janata Party (JJP) is part of the coalition government, on Friday met Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar to discuss the issue, even as the Congress mounted pressure on him to step down. JJP leader and Indian National Students Organization national president Digvijay Singh Chautala said the party’s coalition with the BJP in Haryana was on strong footing. He added that there was no pressure on the party to leave the alliance in the backdrop of resignation of Harsimrat Kaur Badal of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). “Prime Minister Narendra Modi has cleared the doubts of the farmers on the farm ordinances and the country must trust him,” he said.
