Jalandhar, December 13
Farm leaders returned to a hero’s welcome in Jalandhar today after returning from the Delhi morcha. On their way to Amritsar to pay obeisance at the Golden Temple, stalwart leaders of the Kisan Morcha stopped over at the Jalandhar-Amritsar highway amidst glorious cheers from the sangat and chanting of slogans and jaikaras.
Tea, pinnis, barfis and showers of petals welcomed the leaders back to Punjab. Local members of farm outfits as well as Jalandhar citizens gathered in huge numbers at the national highway to welcome the leaders and honour them with garlands and siropas.
The cavalcades stopped over at the highway with women, children, and men of farm groups jostling to honour the revered leaders. Passing cavalcades nodded in unison to standing sangat with all raising the slogan “Kisan mazdoor ekta zindabad”. A huge jatha of women from Jalandhar, Nakodar and Shahkot also stood by the roadside to welcome the leaders. — TNS
