Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk meets fasting farm leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, extends support to farmer protest
PTC News Desk: Climate activist Sonam Wangchuk visited Khanauri border and met fasting farm leader jagjit Singh Dallewal who has been on hunger strike since November 26 to press their demands on Centre.
Wangchuk, accompanied by other farmer leaders from two unions leading the protest, expressed his solidarity with Dallewal. The meeting was aimed at extending support to ongoing farmer protest.
Wangchuk said, his visit was to convey "good wishes and warm support on behalf of the people of Ladakh." He also mentioned that Dallewal was too weak to speak due to his health condition caused by prolonged fasting and the purpose of the meeting was to extend solidarity rather than to have an extended discussion.
Climate activist Wangchuk also urged the people to support ongoing protest of farmers as much as possible and asserted, " The food we eat is produced by farmers ."
Amid the ongoing protest at Punjab-Haryana border, farmers have called for 'Kisan Mahapanchayat' at Khanauri border in a protest against Centre. The decision to call Kisan Mahapanchayat was called unanimously by Samyukta Kisan Morcha(non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha.
