Farmers' stir represents all communities: BKU leader

Description

A “sarv dharma” meeting was organised by protesting farmers at the Khatkar toll plaza in Jind district today. People from different communities gave a call for unity and vowed to keep their struggle against the three farm laws going.District BKU president Azad Singh Palwan said, “The congregation of people from diverse faiths has strengthened the agitation.”Khera khap pradhan Satbir Singh said the meeting was a reply to the Centre that it would fail in its devious design of creating fissures on caste or communal lines. “The farmers’ agitation is not linked to any particular caste or community. It represents all communities.”Nawab Ali, another farmer, maintained it was unfortunate that the powers that be have been trying to create divisions among communities. — TNS
