Punjab: Union Minister of State for Food Processing Ravneet Singh Bittu on Saturday appealed to farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal to end his indefinite fast and join talks with the Centre over their demands. In a video message addressed to Dallewal, Bittu said, “Your health is important and your life is precious for the people of Punjab as your leadership will always be needed for the struggle of farmers and farm labourers.” Bittu said that during the Lok Sabha session that ended on Friday, BJP ministers and senior party leaders kept asking about Dallewal’s health. Bittu said that the central government has held several meetings on the demands of the farmers and wants to continue the talks. Bittu said that he is making this appeal to Dallewal on behalf of the Centre and the people of Punjab. Bittu said that he understands the pain of the farmers as he also belongs to a farmer family. He wished Dallewal success in his mission so that he can continue to serve the people of Punjab for a long time. He urged Dallewal to end his fast and join the meeting with the Centre on May 4.
