The Freedom Fighters Successors’ Organisation, Punjab, took this decision at a meeting held today. It is protesting the parties failure to fulfil their long-standing demands. The organisation also protested at the Sangrur DC Office.

They also announced a state-level rally at Dakha on October 16 and similar rallies on other three seats as well. They said they would find honest and sincere candidates but if they couldn’t, they would go for NOTA.
