The Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan), one of Punjab's major farmers' organisations, has stated that it will travel to Delhi on July 27 to support the ongoing protest at Jantar Mantar. The union said it decided to join the agitation after protesters appealed to organisations across the country to extend their support.
BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) president Joginder Singh Ugrahan said on Friday that the union had joined the movement late but would now stand firmly with the protesters. "We are already late and have remained absent from the protest so far, but we will now go to Delhi," he said.
Ugrahan said the union would soon announce details of its programme, including the time and location where members would gather before travelling to the national capital. He said the students were raising genuine issues that needed to be addressed without delay.
He said the situation had reached a point where injustice and repression could no longer be ignored. Ugrahan also raised concerns over the increasing cost of education and repeated cases of question paper leaks. "These are matters that cannot be tolerated," he said.
