Jalandhar, December 27
Two days ahead of the next round of talks of protesting farmers with the Centre over the three contentious farm laws, the farming community on Sunday held ‘Thali Bajao’and ‘Boycott Ambani-Adani’ protest.
Following the call by the Kisan Sanyukt Morcha, a large number of residents came out on the roads with utensils to show solidaritity with agitating farmers.
The farm union leaders and residents assembled outside Reliance Trends, near Guru Nanak Mission Chowk and at Nikku Park. A protester said, “It’s been over a month now and farmers are still sitting on the outskirts of Delhi to safeguard their rights. However, the Centre is still unmoved.”
Residents were urged to avoid products and services of Reliance and Adani group. They shouldn’t accept them untill farmers, braving the cold on the Singhu and Tikri borders return home. Locals formed a human chain outside the Model Town gurdwara. Later, videos of ‘Thali Bajao’ protest were widely shared on social media by protesters.
