PATIALA:

Dallewal was brought to the main stage in an ambulance with a medical team. He rejected concerns about his health, instead highlighting the broader crisis facing India's agricultural community.

"Already over 7 lakh farmers have committed suicide owing to the distress in the farming sector. The Supreme Court should think of children and family members of the farmers who have committed suicide rather than my health," Dallewal, who leads the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) non-political, said, his address interrupted twice as he needed water.
