Gurugram, November 28
Claiming that the farmers’ agitation was funded by the Punjab government, Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar claimed today that no farmers from Haryana were part of it. “I am grateful to our farmers for not participating in the uproar, mainly sponsored by a political party and some organizations in Punjab. They (farmers) were carrying Punjab government cards and their CM is not ready to talk about it, ”Khattar said.
Attacking the Punjab CM, he claimed to have repeatedly tried to contact him in the past three days. “I dialed his number a couple of times, but the Captain’s staff told me he was busy. He would respond earlier in an hour or so. ”His staff later released details of the calls made.
Praising the Haryana Police for their “complete restraint”, the Chief Minister appealed to Punjab farmers to send their representatives to dialogue with the Union Government.
“Meeting in Delhi in large numbers is useless. The Center is ready to talk. Dialogue is the only way out, “added the Chief Minister. – TNS
