“Surveer was not part of Monday’s dharna outside DC office. However, she had gone to Delhi morcha days after she got married in November. She writes slogans ‘boliyan ‘ for women,” said her mother-in-law, Karmaljeet Kaur, who was leading the dharna in Barnala. Surveer, a member of BKU (Ugrahan) had gone to the Delhi Morcha soon after her wedding and returned on November 25, pointed out Kamaljeet as she addressed protesters at grain market Barnala.
