Ludhiana, August 26

Various farmer unions today held a protest against the ‘Bell Bottom’ movie, starring Akshay Kumar, outside the Pavillion mall.

Farmers alleged that their protest is a reaction to Akshay’s statement last year calling their protest propaganda. They alleged that despite Akshay having roots in Punjab, he did not mince a single word in favour of farmers’ agitation.

Protesters said Akshay had never demanded scrapping of the three ‘anti-farm’ laws. “We will not let Akshay’s movie to run in cinemas in Punjab and we are giving a warning to the district authorities to stop the screening of Akshay’s movie, else farmers will choose their own way to stall the screening of the ‘Bell Bottom’ movie.”
