More than one lakh farmers and workers gathered for a rally in Punjab’s Barnala district on Sunday, in a massive show of strength against the three agricultural laws,
The Tribune reported.
The “Kisan Mazdoor Rally” was organised by Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) and Punjab Khet Mazdoor Union. It was one of the largest rallies held in Punjab since the protests against the farming laws shifted to Delhi’s borders. The police estimated that the rally was attended by 1,20,000 to 1,30,000 people, according to Reuters.
