‘Ready to resign than bow to injustice to farmer’: Captain

Amid protests by farmers against the new farm laws, Punjab Chief Minister Captain Amarinder Singh Tuesday said he was prepared to ‘resign or be dismissed rather than bow to injustice towards Punjab’s farmers’. Captain also warned of possible disruption to state’s peace and a threat to national security as a result of the farm laws, pointing out that nobody can tolerate religious hurt and attack on livelihood. Cautioning the Centre against allowing the situation to get out of hand, the chief minister said if the farm laws are not revoked, angry youth would take to streets and join the farmers, which would lead to chaos.
