Amid growing protests across states over the recently passed Farm Bills in the Parliament, Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has decided to pull out of BJP-led NDA alliance.

'Because of the centre’s stubborn refusal to give statutory legislative guarantees to protect assured marketing of farmers crops on MSP and its continued insensitivity to Punjabi & Sikh issues, we quit the National Democratic Alliance' said SAD.

Shiromani Akali Dal pulls out of NDA over farm Bills, the party chief Sukhbir Singh Badal announced.

Earlier in the day, Sukhbir Singh Badal demanded that the Punjab government immediately bring an ordinance to declare the entire state as an agriculture market to thwart the implementation of the Centre's farm legislations.
