Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on hunger strike for four months on various demands of farmers, ended his fast today. The Supreme Court has praised him, saying that he has no political agenda and is a true leader.
Punjab Advocate General (AG) told a bench of Justice Suryakant and Justice N. Koteshwar Singh that farmers protesting on Khanauri and Shambhu borders have been removed and blocked roads and highways have been opened.
The Supreme Court said that Dallewal is a true farmer leader who has raised the real issues of the farming community without any political agenda.
The court further said that we know that some people are not interested in solving the problems of farmers. We are not sitting idle. We know everything.
The bench has asked the Punjab and Haryana governments to file a status report on the actual situation. Singh said that Haryana has also removed all the barricades on the highway, so that the vehicles are now passing easily.
Significantly, in September 2024, the Supreme Court formed a high level committee to solve the problems of the protesting farmers.
Farmer leaders Saravan Singh Pandher, Abhimanyu Kohar and Kaka Singh Kotra were released from jail today. He was detained after a central delegation meeting.
