JJP MLAs support farmers’ agitation

In growing support for the farmers’ protest among legislators in Haryana, five Jannayak Janta Party (JJP) MLAs have now come out in support of the agitation seeking early resolution of the stand-off and demanding that the three farm laws enacted recently be withdrawn. In the wake of JJP’s Barwala MLA Jogi Ram Sihag refusing his appointment as chairman of the Haryana Housing Board last week, four more MLAs — Ram Kumar Gautam (Narnaund), Ishwar Singh (Gulha Cheeka), Amarjeet Dhanda (Julana) and Ram Karan Kala (Shahbad) — have issued statements announcing support for the farmers’ agitation.
