Tarn Taran, April 6

The Kul Hind Kisan Sabha, in its district-level conference held at the local Ramgarhai Bunga on Friday, condemned the policies of the Centre and the state government by saying that these are serving the interests of the corporate sector.

Farmers from different parts of the district participated in the conference which was presided over by Pooran Singh Marimegha and others leaders of the sabha.

Addressing on the occasion, Baldev Singh Nihalgarh and Sukhjinder Singh Maheshwari, state leaders of the sabha, said with the mass participation of the Punjab farmers, farmers of the country have been able to fight the dictatorial policies of the Union Government.

They demanded a complete waiver of loans of the farmers and labourers, Rs 10,000 as old-age pension for the farmers, free education and job guarantee for them. They said the state government was eager to hand over the procurement of the farmers’ produce to the corporate sector but it could be stopped with the opposition from the farmers. Balkar Valtoha, Mahanvir Singh Gill and others too addressed the participants.

Women leaders Kiranjit Kaur Valtoha and Rajinder Pal too addressed on the occasion and appreciated the role of women farmers during the farmers’ agitation.
