Punjab government accepted all our demands, dialogue yet to be complete: Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher on meeting the govt after 22-year-old farmer was killed by a rubber bullet in broad daylight
"Dialogues were being held with the Punjab Government after the death of Shubhkaran Singh...All our demands were accepted, that case u/s 302 (murder) be filed against those who attacked, that Punjab Government give the status of 'martyr' to Shubhkaran Singh, that discussions on compensation were held with his family, and that a Board will be constituted for his postmortem & its videography will be done...It has been more than 14 hours now but Punjab Government is not giving any answer."
"So, Shubhkaran Singh's body is lying in the hospital. Punjab Government is insulting the martyrdom of our martyrs, this is condemnable. They are saying that the site of the incident will have to be investigated - whether it is located in Punjab or Haryana...I don't think we will be able to perform the last rites of Shubhkaran Singh as of now. The dialogues with the Punjab Government are yet to complete."

"India has a history that whenever the country is in need, some saint, sage or great personality is born in India. Saint Ravidas was a great saint of the Bhakti movement, who gave new energy to the weak and divided India," he says.
"Ravidas ji also told the society the importance of freedom and also worked to bridge the social divide. High caste, untouchability, discrimination... he raised his voice against all this," Modi said.
"Today our government is taking forward the ideas of Ravidas. BJP government is for everyone, BJP government's schemes are for everyone. Today, this mantra of 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Effort' has also become the mantra to connect with 140 crore countrymen," he added.
"Equality comes only by giving priority to the deprived society. Therefore, in the last 10 years, work has been done keeping in mind those people who remained away from the stream of class development. Earlier, the poor who were considered last, today the biggest schemes have been made for them," he said.

"Today, democracy is dead. Our properties are being attached. Acts like NSA are being invoked. This is undeclared emergency," he said.
