Further, the letter also mentioned the NDA government's contentious farm laws and requested that the state of Punjab "must not merely recommend amendments to a few clauses to the in the three black laws, but reject them completely by announcing that they will not be implemented in Punjab at any cost".

The other three demands were the immediate arrest of the “big fish behind drug trafficking in Punjab as mentioned in the Special Task Force report”, cancellation of the “faulty power purchase agreements” between the previous Akali-BJP government and private thermal power companies", and a compassionate leadership that is ready to listen and take steps for inclusive development of all protesting unions.

Speaking to Sidhu, Amarinder Singh underlined that he has fulfilled most of his poll promises and stressed the need to cooperate in the interest of the party.

“Your win is my win and our win is the party’s win. and we need to work together in the interest of the state and its people," he said, The Tribune reported.
