December 07, 2020 10:52

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has reached Singhu border which connects Delhi and Haryana to check facilities provided to the protesting farmers by his government.

Deputy CM Manish Sisodia and other AAP MLAs, too, have accompanied CM Arvind Kejriwal on his visit to Singhu border to review arrangements made by the government.

After meeting the protesting farmers and speaking to the media, Kejriwal said, "Our party, MLAs & leaders have been serving farmers as 'sevadars' ever since. I haven't come here as CM but as a 'sevadar'. Farmers are in trouble today, we should stand with them. AAP supports Dec 8th Bharat Bandh, party workers will participate in it across the nation."

He added, "We support all demands of farmers. Their issue & demands are valid. My party & I have stood with them from the very beginning. At the beginning of their protests, Delhi Police had sought permission to convert 9 stadiums into jails. I was pressurised but didn't permit."
