Farm unions’ ‘corporate-free India’ Diwali
Description
Amritsar, November 1We’ve been hearing of pollution-free Diwali, but farm unions will celebrate ‘corporate-free’ Diwali this time.Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee leaders on Monday said farmers will celebrate Diwali as ‘corporate-free India’ and dedicate it to the martyrs of Delhi and Lakhimpur Kheri. Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee Punjab state core-committee meeting was held at Shaheed Angrej Singh Bakipur Memorial, where these decisions were taken unanimously. State office secretary Gurbachan Singh Chabba said just as Guru Hargobind had managed to release 52 kings from Gwalior Fort, following the footsteps of Guru Sahib, Diwali and Bandi Chhod Diwas would be celebrated with a pledge to liberate India from the corporates. When Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya, people lit lamps and rejoiced, but today’s Modi government wants to hand over the entire country to corporate houses, including the agriculture sector and peasants. The struggle is on against black laws. They sought compensation for paddy destroyed by heavy rain and hailstorm and compensation for cotton destroyed by the pink locust.
