The highest decision-making body of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) core committee at its emergency meeting on Saturday night decided to pull out of the BJP-led NDA alliance over the centre's farm bills thus snapping a three-decade-old alliance with the saffron party.

"The government's decision on farm Bills is deeply injurious to the interests not only of the farmers but also of the khet mazdoor (farm labourers), traders, arhtiyas and the Dalits who depend on the well-being of agriculture," a party statement said.

The decision came at the end of the marathon meeting at the party headquarters here, lasting over three hours.

Later, addressing the media, Sukhbir Badal said that SAD would continue to stand by its core principles of peace and communal harmony and of guarding the interests of Punjab, Punjabis in general and the Sikhs and the farmers in particular.

He said the decision has been taken after deep deliberations with the people of Punjab, especially the party workers and farmers, farm labourers, traders, arhtiyas and other poor sections of society.

Sukhbir Badal said that the Bills on agricultural marketing brought by the BJP government are 'lethal' and 'disastrous' for the already beleaguered farmers.
