Can hold ‘Kisaan Bagh’: Activists
Description
Hyderabad: Social activists on Monday said they are thinking of holding Kisaan Bagh, similar to that of Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh protests against Citizenship Amendment Act and National Register of Citizens, in an expression of solidarity with the protesting farmers. At a round-table conference organised by Tehreek Muslim Shabban, activists deliberated over forming a joint action committee for the cause while terming the new farm laws anti-farmer. Mushtaq Malik, president, Tehreek Muslim Shabban, said, “The Centre is exploiting laws and implementing new ones to benefit a handful of rich Indians...” Activists said that the laws were against every Indian household with a kitchen. Professor Kodandaram said that there must be another Million March in support of the farmers’ agitation. The activists also urged the imams of mosques to spread awareness on the farm laws during Friday sermons.
