More farmers from Malwa leave for Tikri
Bathinda, December 27
Scores of farmers from Malwa districts left for the Tikri border to take part in the ongoing farmers’ agitation today. The farmers will be staying for the night in Fatehabad district in Haryana before resuming their travel on Monday morning.
The groups of farmers from Bathinda, Muktsar, Fazilka, Ferozepur and Faridkot districts crossed from the Dabwali border (Haryana) and reached Fatehabad.
Jasveer Singh, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) press secretary, said, “On the completion of one month of continuous protests against the new laws, a large number of jathas of farmers left for the Tikri border from southern Malwa districts today. The gathering of protesters will continue to grow in the coming days and the adamant stance of the government or biting cold will not dampen the determination of the agitating farmers. These jathas are coming prepared with all essential items. The farmers will not settle for anything less than repealing of the laws.” — TNS
