Protesting farmer union leaders said Akshay Kumar had repeatedly given statements against farmers. “No film of Akshay Kumar and Sunny Deol will be allowed to run in Punjab,” they said.
DSP Harjinder Singh Gill reached the spot and stopped the screening of the film to prevent any untoward incident. The movement of vehicles on the Aerocity road, which came to a halt, was restored after sometime.
The protesters raised slogans against the BJP-led Central government and demanded that the three farm bills be taken back immediately.
