At a press conference here, Mr. Lal accused Capt. Amarinder (retd) of insti­ gating farmers. To a ques­ tion on Capt. Amarinder’s statement asking him to apologise to farmers, Mr. Lal said, “In what authority he is asking me to resign or apologise? Who is he to ask me to apologise or resign? Rather, he should resign for instigating farmers. About 85% of those sitting on Delhi’s borders are from Punjab.” ‘Politically motivated’ Mr. Lal said those agitating and taking law and order in their hands were not farm­ ers. They were politically motivated people. “The Haryana farmers are happily working in their fields. Those from Punjab are actually sitting at Tikri and Singhu bor­ ders,” he said, adding that the Congress and the Com­ munist party leaders were misleading innocent farm­ ers and provoking them to create chaos in Karnal as well. The Punjab Chief Minis­ ter slammed his Haryana counterpart for defending the assault on peacefully protesting farmers by put­ ting the onus of their agita­ tion on Punjab, saying Mr. Lal’s remarks had com­ pletely exposed his govern­ ment’s anti­farmer agenda.
