No agreement has been concluded; then what is this agitation for ? – BJP

Punjab BJP spokesperson Anil Sarin said, ‘No agreement has been concluded so far. No details have been announced; then what is this agitation for ? They are agitating against something that the Government has not even done. It is possible that these leaders have acquaintances abroad; that is why they know everything. Some people always want to spoil the atmosphere in Punjab.’
