What could be allegedly a step stepping back from his alleged statement after it backfired, Kultar Singh Sandhwan, Speaker of Punjab Vidhan Sabha on Monday issued a press release in which he has said that KIsans are our brothers and would always be respectable for me.I am closely associated with the farming community.
“The protests are the legitimate right of the people in a democracy and we accept it. But it has been seen that some of the people of the traditional p[arties whose leaders have been rejected by the people, protest against us by showing flags of the Kisan unions.So my statement is against such people who are protesting against us in guise of the farmers unions, not against the farmers,” said Kultar Singh Sandhwan, Speaker Punjab Vidhan Sabha and an elected representative from kotkapura.
“However, if any KIsan or Majdoor(farm labourers) have been hurt by my words, then it could be taken as slip of tongue or as a phrase as to error is human and I am apologetic of those words,” said Kultar Singh Sandhwan,in press note to the media by his PRO Manpreet Singh Dhaliwal.
