Chandigarh: Congress legislators today condemned the Shiromani Akali Dal for deserting drought-hit farmers. In a joint statement issued here today, party legislators Laal Singh, Parminder Singh, Brahm Mohindra, Gurkarit Singh and Tarlochan Singh Sundh said instead of the ruling party leaders flying abroad at this crucial juncture, the MLAs said the Akali leadership should have been focussing on the problems of farmers.
The leaders alleged that instead of rescuing farmers, the Akali leadership were attending social engagements along with their cabinet colleagues in the US. Similarly many are attending London Olympics, they said.
