Sonepat/Jhajjar, February 23
Farmers observed “Pagdi Sambhal Diwas” at the Singhu and Tikri borders today to mark the birth anniversary of Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s uncle Ajit Singh.
They sported colourful turbans to mark the occasion. Their message to the Centre was loud and clear: “We will not return home until the three farm laws are revoked.”
At Singhu, members of Shaheed Bhagat Singh’s family — Abhay Singh Sandhu, Teji Sandhu, Anuspriya Sandhu and Gurjeet Kaur — participated in the ‘Pagdi Sambhal Diwas’ function.
Abhay served a month’s ultimatum on the Centre to accept the farmers’ demand, stating he would sit on fast on March 23 if the three farm laws were not repealed by then. “The farmers’ demand is justified.”
March 23 is celebrated as Shaheedi Diwas of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev.
