Chandigarh, Dec 20 : Voices of Punjabi diaspora across the globe, standing for the dignity and rights of the protesting farmers in India, have been going louder and shriller.
Hundreds of Sikhs are adding volume to the protests in the US, Britain, Canada and Australia, to draw the attention and express solidarity with their Sikh brethren back home.
The latest protest was during Australia-India day and night test match outside the Adelaide Oval where the protesters, holding placards displaying We stand with farmers , demanded the Indian government to listen to the concerns of the farmers.

Indian extremist Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government led by the fanatic ruling party BJP has bulldozed major liberal and pro-minorities’ movements in the recent past.
Last year, Modi’s government ended special status of the Jummu and Kashmir by abrogation of articles 35A and 370 of the Constitution to turn Muslim majority into minority.
Similarly, the Indian Citizenship Amendment Act 2019 (CAA), passed by the Indian Parliament further exposed the discriminatory policies of the Modi-led regime. The CAA coupled with the National Register of Citizens (NRC) is mainly against the Muslim immigrants especially from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan.
