Keep tractor march disciplined: SKM

Kundli-Singhu/Sonipat: The Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has asked the farmers who have gathered outside Delhi or those supposed to reach there on November 26 for the protest’s anniversary to stay disciplined during the November 29 tractor march to Parliament. It has called them to stay vigilant and calm to avoid any incident that might take the sheen off the farmers’ hard-earned victory. The farmers said they wished to return with the same dignity with which they had come to the site. The morcha asked them to not let the energy wane. Punjabi singer Kanwar Grewal, who reached the Singhu border on Saturday, said his team will keep tabs on the camp. He said: "Now when the farmers have humbled the Narendra Modi government, someone might try to disrupt the peaceful atmosphere of the march to discredit them. The farmers should be watchful till they get the repeal document in written." Kanwar Grewal also sang ‘Hun faslan de faisle kisan karuga’ (now the farmer will decide on the crops) from the stage to invoke the spirit of unity. The celebrations on the site continued for the second consecutive day. The SKM coordinators were congratulating the fellow farmers who had stayed with them till the end "despite conspiracies and diverting tactics". They released a giant balloon over the Singhu border as a mark of victory. It was marked ‘Nirbhau (without fear)’ and ‘Nirvair (without enmity), words taken from the Sikh prayer of Japji Sahib.
