KMSC seeks withdrawal of cases against farmers

Tarn Taran, March 9

On the second day of the ‘Pakka Morcha’ launched by the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, Punjab, outside the District Administrative Complex (DAC), the agitating workers staged dharna in the middle of the National Highways No. 54 on Tuesday and blocked normal traffic for two hours.

District president Sukhwinder Singh Sabhra and state leader Sawinder Singh Chutala were among others, who addressed the demonstrators on the occasion. They said the Congress leaders were victimising their political opponents by registering fake cases against them on a very large scale. They said the organisation had been demanding the withdrawal of criminal cases registered against the farmers’ leaders. They said the officials in the meetings held previously had assured to take back the cases, but now the police had started presenting challans in the courts. The leaders warned that the organisation would fight till justice was not served to them. — OC
