Amid rising tensions at the Punjab-Haryana border, Congress leader Kumari Selja expressed grave concern regarding the health of fasting farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, urging swift governmental action.

Selja criticized the government's harsh response to protestors, comparing the border situation to an international conflict zone, with water cannons and tear gas aimed at peaceful farmers demanding their rights.
