Punjab AAP chief holds meetings to bolster stir

Punjab AAP chief Bhagwant Mann on Saturday held three public meetings in Mansa district to garner support for the party’s ‘Kisan Mahasammelan’ on March 21 aimed at strengthening the ongoing farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s new agri laws.

Mr. Mann, the Aam Aadmi Party’s Lok Sabha MP from Sangrur, said Delhi Chief Minister and the party national convenor Arvind Kejriwal will come to Punjab for the event.

During his meetings at Ulakh, Makha and Kharak Singh Wala villages, Mr. Mann appealed to the people to attend the event at Baghapurana in Moga district in large numbers to show the nation that the farmers’ agitation is still strong.

Meanwhile, Leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly and AAP leader Harpal Singh Cheema held a roadshow at Ajnala in Amritsar district to galvanise support for the event.
