Bains brothers begin march

Description

Patiala: Lok Insaaf Party (LIP) legislators Simarjit Singh Bains and Balwinder Singh Bains, both brothers, reached Fatehgarh Sahib on Saturday to start their march towards Delhi. Balwinder Singh Bains, along with party workers and supporters, marched towards Delhi borders to join the farmers’ agitation while Simarjit started his cycle march under the banner of “Punjabiyo Delhi challo, othe ja ke morche mallo.” “We will cover a distance of around 55 kms during our cycle march on Saturday. We will stay at the Gurdwara Sahib in Sahnewal, from where a large group of farmers along with my son, son-in-law and other relatives will march towards Delhi on tractor-trolleys, cars and other vehicles. To mobilise more people, we will take our cycle march further from Ludhiana to Phagwara on Sunday. From here, a caravan of farmers, along with my mother, brother’s wife and daughter will leave for Delhi. The next day, our caravan will leave for Delhi with my wife, daughter and sisters,” said Simarjit Bains, who will march towards Delhi from Amritsar on Wednesday. He also announced that he would give the gift of a shovel to farmer leader Rakesh Tikait for giving strength to the agitation. The elderly Mohinder Kaur gave the green signal to Bains brothers’ Delhi Chalo march. Mohinder Kaur had filed a complaint against actor Kangana Ranaut for defaming her on social media using false propaganda and tagging her as a Shaheen Bagh protester available for Rs 100.
