He has further said that the farmers will not be able to “decide” the rates for their produce and they do not have enough space to store their crops.

Singer Ammy Virk tweeted, “I am a farmer’s son first, and then an actor and a singer”.
He stated that in 2011-12, when he recorded his first album, his father had arranged Rs 5 lakh for him by selling their car and taking a loan from a commission agent. Later, when the crop was sold, the loan was paid and his dream got fulfilled, so these Bills would break many a dream. I appeal to jointly protest against these Bills.
