Never directed to end Dallewal's hunger strike: SC
The Statesman Bhubaneswar
|January 03, 2025
Dallewal has been firm that he would take medical aid only if the Union govt was ready for talks
The Supreme Court on Thursday said that it has never directed to end the hunger strike of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on a fast unto death, but is only concerned with his health.
"There appears to be a deliberate attempt in the entire media where state government officers (of Punjab) are trying to create an impression that there is a persuasion by this court to Mr. Dallewal to break his fast. Our directions were not to break his fast. We only said that let his health be taken care of and he can continue his peaceful protest even when he is hospitalised," a Bench headed by Justice Surya Kant told Punjab's Advocate General (AG) Gurminder Singh.
