They added that after that they returned to Basti Jodhewal via Mall Road, Mata Rani Chowk, Chhawni Mohalla and Shivpuri.
The members of the organisation said that they had around 200 youths associated with their group and they belong to Ludhiana and surrounding areas.
The participants who were having flags supporting farmers on their bikes were raising slogans in favour of farmers and against Modi government. They also had placards with “No Farmer, No Food”. “Kisan Mazdoor Ekta Zindabad” etc. written on those.
Gurpreet Kataria, a member of the group, said that the farmers’ agitation was not linked to them only but with middle class families as well. He added that contract farming in the USA and Canada had shown that if such laws were implemented, then how corporate would charge more from middle class for food articles, etc.
Gurpreet alleged that it would be for the corporates to decide what to pick and what not to pick from farmers and they would bargain with them as well. He added that people should think about the impact of these laws on them as well.
The protesters demanded repealing of the three farming laws passed by the Union government and also vouched to support the farmers in the agitation.
