Amarinder-Shah meeting over farm laws postponed


Former Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh’s meeting with the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, over the farm laws, was postponed on Thursday.
Sources said the meeting between both leaders could not take place as Shah was to leave for Gujarat.
Singh was scheduled to meet Shah to discuss possible solutions to the ongoing farmers’ stir against the Centre’s three farm laws.
Singh on Wednesday had said he will be meeting Shah along with some agricultural experts.
“Tomorrow, I am going to meet Home Minister Shah and 25-30 people will go with me,” Singh had said in Chandigarh.
Singh had said he had met the Union home minister thrice in the past on farmers’ issues.
Singh, who had faced an unceremonious exit from the state government, had said any seat arrangement that he might make with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) would be subject to the resolution of the farmers’ issue in their interest.
Singh had earlier also met Shah in Delhi and had discussed the prolonged farmers’ stir with him while urging him to resolve the crisis urgently with the repeal of the three farm laws.
