Punjabi film actress met the families of farmers

Sonia said that we have made the video, our farmer brother has been shot near the ear, but to save the minister’s son, the post-mortem report shows lies. Shame on such a doctor. We were not being allowed to come here, we have come here by lying. We demand that the dead bodies of the farmers should be re-posted and some good doctor in Delhi should do their post-mortem. I am telling that till Monu Mishra is not sent, we will continue to fight like this and the dead bodies of the farmers will be kept here.
