Youth starts ‘run for justice’
Description
Gurvinder Singh has started ‘run for justice’ in support of the ongoing farmers’ protest against three controversial laws from Agwan village near Dera Baba Nanak in Gurdaspur. As Gurvinder reached Amritsar on Thursday, he was honoured by various organisations. Speaking on the occasion, Gurvinder said he plans to cover around 50-km daily and reach Singhu border where farmers have been protesting since November. “My aim is to motivate people to join the protest and visit protest sites. One can use any medium of transport to reach Singhu or Tikri and support those who are sitting there for months,” he said. He said said he would motivate people on the way and exhort them to speak up against the injustice being meted out to farmers. Gurvinder said the three agri laws were against the interests of farmers and consumers. “While farmers will be exploited by paying low prices for their produce, consumers will be charged higher price for the finished product,” he said.
