“I said I had died for you, you are the king, I got into a fight. He said – you meet Amit Shah now. I met Amit Shah.”
After this, while talking to the journalists, he said on the government’s decision to withdraw the agricultural laws that ‘what could he have said apart from what the Prime Minister said. We (farmers) got the decision in our favour.
On the pending demands of the farmers, Malik said, “We need their help to get the legal guarantee on MSP and not do something that will spoil everything.”
“Some issues are still pending. For example, there are still cases (against farmers).
