The Supreme Court on Friday asked the Centre and the Punjab government to ensure necessary medical aid to the convener of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on a fast-unto-death at the Khanouri border in support of farmers agitating for a legal guarantee on minimum support price for crops.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said that they have not received any response or invitation for talks from the Centre.

The farmers are demanding the dismissal and arrest of Union minister Ajay Mishra Teni for his alleged involvement in the October 3 incident in Lakhimpur Kheri.
