Punjab Deputy Inspector General (Prisons) Lakhminder Singh Jakhar on Sunday said he has resigned from the service in support of farmers who are protesting against the Centre’s three new farm laws.
Jakhar said he tendered his resignation to the State Government on Saturday.
In his resignation letter to Principal Secretary (Home), “I would like to inform you of my considered and introspective decision to stand with my farmer brothers who are peacefully protesting against the Farm Ordinances, 2020 which are detrimental to interest of farmers and their future generations.”
He wrote that he was himself a farmer.
