Harsimrat Kaur will resign from union cabinet: SAD chief in LS

Stressing that Shiromani Akali Dal, which is a member of BJP-led NDA, opposed the farm bills moved by the Centre, SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on Thursday said that Food Processing Minister Harsimrat Kaur will resign from the union cabinet in protest over the ordinances. Targeting SAD president Sukhbir Badal and his wife and Union Cabinet Minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal, Congress, AAP and SAD (Democratic) MPs had demanded that she resign from the Union Cabinet as her position is 'untenable' following her party’s stance against the agriculture Bills. Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday moved the three bills in Lok Sabha. The Opposition has said the ordinances were Centre’s attempt to destroy agriculture.
