The Shiromani Akali Dal has accused the Amarinder Singh-led congress government of not fulfilling its promise of loan waivers for farmers in the state.

New Delhi: A total of 919 farmers have committed suicide in Punjab in the last two years. On Tuesday, the families of some of the deceased farmers protested at the Vidhan Sabha in Chandigarh, The Tribune reported. Around 100 families who had gathered under the aegis of the opposition Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) raised slogans and carried placards against the ruling Congress government.

The son of a farmer who allegedly took his own life due to indebtedness addressed the assembly and read his suicide note. “Sannu jhothe laare laye si sarkar ne (The government made us false promises),” the suicide note read according to The Tribune.

According to the Indian Express, some protestors led by SAD president Sukhbir Singh Badal were stopped around 500 metres from the Vidhan Sabha. The farmers then staged a sit-in protest at the spot.
