Punjab School Education Minister Vijay Inder Singla on Tuesday affirmed that he will be sitting on hunger strike on December 23, on the occasion of National Kisaan Diwas in protest against the farm laws.
Vijay Inder Singla tweeted, “On the occasion of #KisaanDiwas, I shall be sitting on a hunger strike in protest against @BJP4India Govt’s unfair farm laws, in complete solidarity with our farmers & arthiyas’ demands! My humble appeal to all to stand in unity against a tyrannical govt & its unjust policies!”
A forum of women lawyers, social Group of Lawyers of Delhi High Court, have also decided to fast on Wednesday in solidarity with the ongoing protest by farmers demanding to roll back the recently passed farm laws.
“It is our belief that while the issue of the Constitutionality of the farm laws being enacted by the Centre when agriculture is a state subject is subjudice before the Supreme Court and the issue of the legality of the enactment by a voice vote in the Rajya Sabha is also being heard by the Supreme Court, implementation of irreversible and far-reaching farm laws would render these petitions infructuous and could cause irreparable damage to the farm sector in India,” the forum said in a press statement.
