Sharad Pawar draws reference to Indira Gandhi's assassination; advises Centre to 'not upset Punjab farmers'

Nationalist Congress Party chief Sharad Pawar on Saturday said the Union government should handle the ongoing agitation against new farm laws with sensitivity, keeping in mind that the majority of protesters are from Punjab, a border state. The country has paid the price of upsetting Punjab in the past, he said, referring to former prime minister Indira Gandhi's assassination during Khalistan militancy.
