SKM to back Punjab man Gurjeet Singh Khalsa protesting for anti-sacrilege law

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) has announced an indefinite protest at Samana in support of Gurjeet Singh Khalsa, who has been protesting atop a 400-foot BSNL tower since October 12, 2024, demanding a stringent anti-sacrilege law.

Farmers have begun moving towards Samana in modified tractor-trailers carrying groceries, cooking gas and other essentials.

Kaka Singh Kotra, state general secretary of the Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta-Sidhupur), said 70 to 100 tractor-trailers from Bathinda and nearby districts were headed to Samana. He said more farmers would join on Tuesday. He said the number of tractor-trailers would increase after union president Jagjit Singh Dallewal enters Punjab around March 5 as part of his Kisan Jagriti Yatra from Kanyakumari to Kashmir.
