Mann to lead AAP protest against farm laws at Jantar Mantar
Description
CHANDIGARH: Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders led by its Punjab president and Sangrur MP Bhagwant Mann will stage a protest at Jantar Mantar against farm laws on Monday. AAP Punjab affairs in-charge Jarnail Singh said the party’s Punjab cadre will protest at Jantar Mantar from 11am to 4pm in solidarity with farmers agitating in Punjab and Haryana against the agri laws. He said Mann would be accompanied by AAP MLAs from Punjab and Delhi, Delhi government cabinet ministers, AAP Rajya Sabha MPs and the party’s Punjab and Delhi cadre. He said this is the time to stand against forces who want to sell farmers’ livelihood to corporates. Mann also appealed to people of Punjab to participate in AAP’s protest as the farm laws have forced people in Punjab to take to the roads. He also slammed the Union government for not heeding farmers’ protests.
