Farm Leaders Condemn Police Action During Protest
On the 38th day of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha's protest against the transfer of ownership of the cooperative sugar mill Sheron, farm leaders strongly condemned the roughing up of farmers by the police yesterday. The protest continued in Tarn Taran, with leaders addressing the gathering and criticizing the administration's handling of the situation.
Demand Charter Submission Denied
The leaders said farmers wanted to present their demand charter for the restart of the cooperative sugar mill Sheron by submitting their demand letter to Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains and Manish Sisodia, who attended a government function yesterday. However, the administration did not give them a chance to even present their point, and instead, the farmers were roughed up by the police.
Farmers' Share in Cooperative Mill
The leaders emphasized that the cooperative sugar mill had come into existence with the shares of farmers, and therefore, they could not allow it to be transferred to other departments. They vowed to continue their struggle until their aim is fulfilled.
Farm leaders who addressed the gathering included Daljit Singh Dayalpura, Manjit Singh Baggu, Mahavir Singh Gill, Nachhattar Singh Pannu, Tarsem Singh Luhar, Inderjit Singh Marhana, Gurpreet Singh Gandiwind, Gurdial Singh, Resham Singh Failoke, and Baldev Singh.
