Sangrur, December 26

The bonding, which developed between Punjab and Haryana farmers during their stir against the farm laws, is getting stronger as farmers from the neighbouring state have joined their Punjabi counterparts to protest against the state government at the district headquarters.

Rajinder Rathi, a farmer from Haryana, said, “I had given them my plot in Bahadurgarh. I have developed brotherhood with farmers from Punjab. Since our Punjabi brothers are fighting for their demands, its our moral duty to support them. I have been here since December 21.”

Sumedh Singh, a resident of Narwana, said, “I came along with three persons to support farmers in Sangrur. We have developed close relations with Punjabi farmers. These ties will strengthen further.”

Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kalan, general secretary, BKU (Ugrahan), said: “This unity will help farmers in winning more battles against the governments in future as well.”
