Chandigarh, August 11
Samyukt Kisan Morcha leader Rakesh Tikait visited Chandigarh this evening. He toured across the city and met farm activists at Matka Chowk and at the Sector 37-38 roundabout. The protesters had gathered at the roundabouts in large numbers to get a glimpse of Tikait.
At Matka Chowk, Tikait met Labh Singh, who has been protesting at the site since March 6. He also joined the Teej celebrations at the roundabout of Sector 37 and 38.
“Display the Tricolour on your cars on August 15,” he told the protesters, inviting them to take part in a motor rally on Independence Day.
When contacted, Tikait’s associate Billu Pardhan said: “Tikait will stay in Chandigarh tonight. He attended a mahapanchayat in Nahan.” — TNS
