Along with him, ministers, MLAs and workers are also staging a sit-in. Before starting the strike, Chief Minister Capt Amarinder Singh paid tribute to the statue of Bhagat Singh.
During this, he called the President's approval of agricultural bills as 'unfortunate and disappointing'.

In such a situation, the acceptance of the President is a setback for those farmers who are protesting against these laws of the Center on the streets. The implementation of these laws will destroy the agricultural sector of Punjab. At the same time, Congress President Rahul Gandhi has described the agricultural law as a punishment for farmers. He wrote in tweeting that 'new agricultural law is a death decree for farmers. His voice is being suppressed in Parliament and outside Parliament.
