Asked if he would relinquish his post to stand with farmers, Malik said he would do that too if needed.

He said if the government legally guarantees MSP, the farmers’ issue will be resolved and emphasised that he is willing to mediate between the Centre and the farmers if asked to.

Farmers have been protesting at the Delhi borders against the three central farm laws for over a year now.

Malik had earlier come out in support of farmers, saying that they cannot be insulted as he urged the government to resolve the ongoing crisis.
