Earlier in December 2020, Sunny Deol had said that he has nothing to do with Deep Sidhu’s stance on the farmers’ protest. “I request the whole world that this is the matter of farmers and our government. No one should come in between because both of them will discuss and solve it, I know many people want to take advantage of it and they are making obstacles. They are not thinking about farmers at all. They may have their own interest. Deep Sidhu, who was with me during the election, is not with me for a long time. Whatever he is saying and doing, he is doing as he wants, I have no connection with any of his activities. I am with my party and farmers and will always be with farmers. Our government has always thought about the welfare of farmers and I am sure that government will reach the right result by negotiating with them,” he had written on December 6, 2020.
