Boxer and congress leader Vijender Singh on Sunday joined the Farmers’ protest at Singhu border of Delhi and said that there demands have his full support.
“I’d received training in Punjab & had their ‘roti’. Today when they’re here in cold, I’ve come as their brother. Other athletes from Haryana wanted to come but they have govt jobs & would’ve been in trouble. They say they’re with farmers,” Singh told media person after joining the agitation.
Congress has meanwhile said that they will be wholeheartedly supporting the Bharat Bandh on December 8.
“Congress stands united with farmers & their struggles. We’ll wholeheartedly support the Bharat Bandh call given by farmers. All our district units instructed already to have dharnas & demonstrations in support of farmers,” Congress leader Randeep Surjewala said.
Meanwhile, the fifth round of talks with central government has failed and the farmers have claimed that they won’t end their stil until all demands are met in regard to farmers bill.
