Youth activists hang banners on flyovers
Description
Bathinda: Some youngsters in Moga have put up large banners atop flyovers in Moga which have slogans written against the new farm laws. The banners are in three languages — Punjabi, Hindi and English. They have mostly been put on the Ludhiana-Ferozepur highway passing through the town. Five activists of All India Youth Federation (AIYF) and All India Students Federation (AISF) have gotten the banners printed and put these up to demand a repeal of the laws. “Agriculture is our culture and our land is for growing food grains for all, not for profit to corporates. The government must ensure guarantee of MSP on all crops in the entire country. Earlier, the activists had set up a bookstore on Singhu border,” AIYF activist Sukhjinder Maheshri, who is being helped by painter Sukha, Raman Gill, Gurtej Charrik and Karamvir Kaur Badhni. Maheshri said their activists were on Delhi borders. “They are holding protests in villages and we are putting up banners. We want to reach out to maximum people by any means of protests,” Maheshri.
