The Punjab government informed the Supreme Court on Wednesday that extensive discussions had taken place with Jagjit Singh Dallewal, the farmer leader currently on an indefinite fast at the Khanauri border, along with other farmers. However, they have refused to engage with the high-powered committee established by the court.
During the proceedings, Punjab’s advocate general, Gurminder Singh, reported that the committee had extended an invitation for dialogue on December 17, but the protesting farmers chose not to participate. Singh said the state government has been making daily efforts to encourage farmers to engage in discussions and proposed that they could submit their demands directly to the court.
In response, the Supreme Court said, “We want to clarify that the court’s doors are always open to any suggestions or demands from farmers, whether directly or through their authorised representatives.” The court also expressed concern for Dallewal’s health, urging the Punjab government to ensure he receives medical assistance promptly.
