The Kisan Mazdoor Andolan Sehyogi Lehar has announced to extend support to the Samyukat Kisan Morcha at Delhi borders by organising a massive cycle rally on the occasion of the 114 birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh.

The rally will commence on Wednesday from Gurdwara Alamgir and join protesters at the Delhi borders on September 27.

The announcement in this regard was made during the concluding session of a meeting of the outfit held at Delhon village near here today.

Addressing the meeting, the speakers, including former legislator Tarsem Jodhan, Shaminder Singh Longowal, Jagtar Singh Saharanmajra, Hardev Singh Sunet, Buta Singh Kilaraipur, Charanjit Singh Himanyupur, Satpal Singh Mansa and Dr NS Sodhi, alleged that the Central Government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, had failed to protest the interests of the common man, including farmers, employees, small traders and labourers, and had been trying its best to benefit corporate houses by implementing laws drafted by them (corporate houses).

“The government had destroyed the agriculture sector by implementing three draconian farm laws and trying to oppress other sections of society by passing the Electricity Act, 2020, and four anti-labour codes,” said Tarsem Jodhan, adding that the outfit would continue to extend support to the Kisan Morcha till the Farm Bills and others Acts are not withdrawn.
