No poll rally on Maghi in Muktsar
Muktsar, January 9
As the Election Commission has banned all political gatherings till January 15, this year there will be no political rally on Maghi here.
Last year, too, no major political outfit had held its Maghi rally. However, the Bharti Kisan Union (Sidhupur), under the banner of Samyukt Kisan Morcha, had held a programme on Malout Road here. Notably, the Maghi Mela is held every year on January 14 (a day after Lohri) to commemorate the 40 ‘Muktas’ (liberated ones) who laid down their lives while fighting the last battle of Sikhs against the Mughals in 1705 here. — TNS
