On this claim, Capt. Amarinder said, “Khattar is lying that he tried calling me earlier and I did not respond. But now, after what he has done to my farmers, I will not speak to him even if he calls me 10 times. Unless he apologizes and admits that he did wrong with Punjab’s farmers, I will not forgive him.” Khattar had accused the Punjab CM of “only tweeting and running away from talks” with him. He said his office tried to contact the Punjab CM on six to seven occasions and “every time his staff used to say we will soon get back and then they used to give the plea that the CM was busy in a meeting”. Repelling the claim, Singh said if he could talk to the Prime Minister and the Union Home Minister so many times on the farmers’ issue, why wouldn’t he take the calls from a neighboring chief minister, if he had truly called earlier?” Also Read | Rahul Gandhi tweets photo of police ‘beating’ old farmer; BJP shares video Hinting a conspiracy, Khattar also said that some political parties and organizations in Punjab are ‘sponsoring’ the farmers’ stir.
