Chandigarh: Punjab’s farmers have been protesting against new agricultural laws enacted by the Government of India (GoI). Other sections of the Punjabi society, especially the youths, have also come forward in support of farmers.
Few days back a number of youth activists, professionals and researchers issued a joint statement underlining that the agrarian crisis of Punjab was not merely an economic issue, rather it was deeply connected with politics and political agenda of the Delhi Takht i.e. the Indian State. These youth leaders stressed that Punjab should get autonomous right to determine price of agricultural produce and the state should get freedom to directly engage in international trade via land route with Pakistan and other countries. They also put forward the restoration of Punjab’s permanent sovereign right over natural resources, including the river water, as a solution to the agrarian crisis.
To explore these aspects in detail, these youth activists and opinionists are going to organize a ‘Webinar’ on Sunday (October 11, 2020).
According to a poster released today, the webinar will be addressed by various activists and researchers who will explore different aspects of the Agrarian crisis in Punjab.
The webinar will begin on Sunday (11 October 2020) at 6 PM (as per Amritsar Time). It may be joined via Zoom Webinar Id: 810 9328 5142.
