Mumbai, April 1 : At least 20 persons from Mumbai have joined thousands more from all over India in the unique Dandi-Delhi Mitti Satyagraha initiative, intended to express solidarity with the farmers agitating outside Delhi since the past nearly four months, activists said here on Thursday.
The Soil Satyagraha is an enactment of the historic Dandi Yatra launched from Ahmedabad to Dandi, 390 km away, by Mahatma Gandhi, culminating in the Salt Satyagraha 91 years ago (March 12-April 5, 1930). At that time, the Satyagraha was against the oppression of the British rule. This time, it is to highlight the insensitivity of the present Central government to the cause of the farmers, workers and common masses, Feroze Mithiborwala, one of the participants from Mumbai, told IANS.
