We dialed 6-7 occasions, however each and every time his group of workers simply stored pronouncing we will be able to get it carried out now, we will be able to get it carried out in a while.”
“This kind of state of affairs has passed off for the primary time {that a} Leader Minister is making an attempt to speak to any other and isn’t in a position to take action. Within the closing 6 years, this has took place for the primary time. Previous, once we known as, if he (Amarinder) was once busy, we’d be able to communicate in an hour or so…” he mentioned.

Until he apologises and admits that he did improper with Punjab’s farmers, I can no longer forgive him,” Amarinder mentioned.

“I can no longer take this nonsense from Khattar. Don’t I’ve higher issues to do than to incite farmers?” Amarinder mentioned, including that “from time to time they are saying it’s Khalistanis who’re managing the protests and from time to time they accuse me of doing it…allow them to make up their minds”.
