PHAGWARA: The video of the teary eyes of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait and Friday s attack on protesting farmers at Singhu Border in Delhi have triggered the mobilisation of more farmers towards the protest sites near the national capital.
A convoy of at least 100 cars and MUVs has recently left Punjab s Phagwara to join the protest.
Many tractor trolleys from across the state are also heading towards the protest sites.
Makhan Singh, a resident of Bhanoki village, who earlier had small landholding but now works as a mason, said, The goons attacked our people at Singhu border. If we don t stay united, most of the farmers will become landless in Punjab.
