Tarn Taran: Kisan leaders showered with flowers at Piddi

Tarn Taran, December 15Elections are just round the corner in Punjab but Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC), Punjab, made it clear on Wednesday that the organisation was in no mood to contest or participate in any way.Satnam Singh Pannu, state president, KMSC, who was at Piddi village, near Tarn Taran town, said the election system had failed to resolve the problems of the masses. He said it was due to this reason that no office-bearer of the organisation would take part in the election process — either by contesting or by canvassing in favour of any political party. He said the organisation believes in the struggle to get their rights and justice.Piddi village is the native place of Satnam Singh Pannu. He and other leaders were honoured by the area residents on their return.Sawinder Singh Chutala and Jasbir Singh Piddi, both core committee members of the organisation, too, were among other leaders who were honoured. Residents showered their leaders with flowers and highly appreciated their contribution in remaining out in the open in scorching heat and cold winter weather for such a long period.The leaders and residents accompanied their leaders to Gurdwara Baba Kahan Singh at Piddi, where they took blessings of the Almighty and performed the Ardas for the strong unity of farmers. Pannu highlighted the tactics of the Union Government as to how it did anything and everything to nosedive the kisan movement and bring a bad name to the agitation.He said with the repealing of the three farm laws, it was the partial victory of the farmer agitation, as many other issues were yet to be resolved. He called farmers to unite and be ready for better results. He said there were still many other issues that need to be resolved, including the cancelling of criminal cases registered against farmers.
