Shiromani Akali Dal, which split from NDA over the farm bills in September, said the govt should stop defaming farmers and hold talks on how to repeal the laws.
The SAD chief also hit out at the central government for allegedly trying to project the protesting farmers as 'anti-national' and demanded that the Centre repeal the new farm laws.
Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal said not only farmers but farm labour, arhatiya (commission agents), mandi labour among others will be hit by the new legislations.
Shiromani Akali Dal president Sukhbir Badal, whose party broke away from NDA after 24 years, says BJP never consulted allies on significant decisions & just expected them to fall in line.
Gurdas, older brother of 5-time Punjab CM Parkash Badal, passed away Friday. But until the end, the two remained close even as their sons, Sukhbir & Manpreet Badal, became political opponents.
SAD president Sukhbir Badal’s allegations against Amarinder Singh’s Congress govt began after the death of Padma Shri awardee singer Nirmal Singh Khalsa.
The sacrilege cases had cost the Akalis the 2017 assembly polls and SAD is now staring at a rebellion. Any adverse SIT report could cause further damage to the party.

Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
