Burn­ing the farm laws and boards of the three farm laws and tak­ing strong ex­cep­tion to the 4-mem­ber panel set up by the Supreme Court of In­dia, Dal Khalsa spokesper­son Kan­war Pal Singh told the WSN that, “This is a one-sided panel with pro-farm laws views and the stay­ing of the farm laws was not a so­lu­tion and will fur­ther ex­ac­er­bate the im­passe”

“We see the Supreme Court rap­ping the knuck­les of the gov­ern­ment only as a ju­di­cial trap to save the sit­u­a­tion for the gov­ern­ment to make an en­try through the back doors. The Modi gov­ern­ment is anti-mi­nor­ity, fas­cist, anti-farmer and anti-peo­ple,” he added.

Dal Khalsa also an­nounced that it will join the Trac­tor March to Delhi on 26 Jan­u­ary in a peace­ful ex­pres­sion of dis­sent against the forcible en­act­ment of un­con­sti­tu­tional and il­le­gal farm laws. 26 Jan­u­ary is a day of protest against un­law­ful and anti-peo­ple farm laws and Dal Khalsa will stage protests against the farm laws.
