Abhay starts Delhi march from Shambhu
Description
Ambala: Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader Abhay Chautala on Friday started a tractor march from Shambhu border, which falls between Ambala in Haryana and Patiala in Punjab, to Singhu border, which falls between Delhi and Haryana’s Sonipat district. Earlier, Abhay sat on a protest with farmers associated with Bharatiya Kisan Union (Charuni) at Devi Nagar toll plaza on Shambhu border. “On January 26, maximum people would reach Singhu border to show their strength and force Prime Minister Narendra Modi to rectify his mistake, and repeal the three black laws. During Covid pandemic, there was a sense of panic among people and lockdown was imposed,” he said. Chautala said the Centre had imposed the three laws in an “unconstitutional and undemocratic manner”. “So far, more than 60 farmers have been martyred due to the severe cold, but the government is not listening,” he said. Chautala said INLD had always struggled for the cause of farmers and followed the ideology of former deputy PM Devi Lal.
