Khanna (Ludhiana), August 12, 2025: Cabinet Minister Tarunpreet Singh Sond on Tuesday visited Asia's largest grain market and met with farmers and commission agents, and listened to their suggestions.
Minister Sond stated that the AAP-led Punjab government always makes decisions based on public opinion. He added that the land pooling policy was not acceptable to farmer, the government withdrew it with a family-like approach. He thanked party national convener Arvind Kejriwal and Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann for their decision in the farmers' interest. He recalled that when the central government imposed three farm laws, farmers across the country protested, and at that time, the AAP government in Delhi stood firmly with farmers against the Modi government.
The Minister emphasized that the Punjab government's goal is to ensure farmers' prosperity and strengthen their economic condition, assuring that every necessary step would be taken for their welfare.
On this occasion, the new team of the Khanna Kisan Wing was also announced, with Yadwinder Singh Libra appointed as President and Lakhveer Singh Gill as General Secretary. Sond congratulated both and expressed confidence that they would work diligently for the welfare of farmers.
Market Committee Khanna Chairman Jagtar Singh Gill Rattanheri and others were also present.
