Unity march in support of protesting farmers Participation from different faiths and walks of life marks torchlight rally in Calcutta
Hundreds of people joined a torchlight rally in south Calcutta on Sunday evening in solidarity with the farmers who have been protesting at the gates of the national capital against the new farm laws.
The marchers came from different faiths and walks of life. Members of the Sikh community, many of them senior citizens, walked side by side with women in hijab.
Cries of “
Kisan ekta zindabad (long live farmers’ unity)” and “
Kisan tum aage badho, hum tumhare saath hai (Farmer, march ahead, we are with you)” rang the evening air.
