‘Protest Day’ preparations in full swing
Description
Farmers’ organisations have begun preparations for the “Protest Day” on May 26 to mark six months of their agitation at the Delhi borders against the three controversial farm laws. The day also coincides with seven years of the Modi government. Farmer leaders said 11-km stretch at Singhu would be covered with black flags that day. On the call by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, protesting farmers will hoist black flags on their trolleys, tractors, sheds and tents at Singhu. The main stage will be draped in black. Rajinder Singh Deep Singhwala, vice-president of the Kirti Kisan Union, said he visited Punjab to mobilise support for the “Protest Day”. Harinder Singh Lakhowal, general secretary, BKU (Lakhowal), told The Tribune over phone he was in Punjab for the preparations and return to Singhu after May 26. — TNS
