Will continue fast till demands are met, says Dallewal

CHANDIGARH : Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Sidhupur) president Jagjit Singh Dallewal on Monday said he would continue his fast unto death till the Punjab government comes up with a resolution to the demands of farmers.

Doctors attending on the farmer leader told reporters that the sugar level of Dallewal, who is on fast since Saturday, is low and a medical team has been stationed at the protest site in Faridkot to monitor his health.

Dallewal has accused the Aam Aadmi Party of acting the same way as the BJP did during the farmers’ stir against the now repealed farm laws. “We are sitting here for resolution of our demands. If the government does not accept then this fast unto death and our protests will continue like this,” Dallewal told reporters in Faridkot. Dallewal said he is not going to avail medical aid and his fast in support of demands will continue.
