For the sec­ond time in so many months, hun­dreds of ac­tivists and lead­ers of the BKU -Bharatiya Kisan Union Ugra­han group, from the Pun­jab, es­pe­cially from the in­te­rior Malwa belt, with their green flags in the air and with their spirit soar­ing sky-high, de­spite overnight stop­pages by the Delhi Po­lice, man­aged to reach Sha­heen Bagh a few min­utes back, ac­com­pa­nied by vol­un­teers of the Sha­heen Bagh Mor­cha.

SCARED OF THE CON­TIN­U­ING IN­TER­VEN­TION OF SIKH AC­TIVISTS, the Delhi Po­lice swung into ac­tion in the wee hours last night to stop mem­bers of the BKU -Bharatiya Kisan Union-Ugra­han group from Pun­jab at Sarita Vi­har, nearly 3 kilo­me­tres away from the Sha­heen Bagh protest site.

It is sig­nif­i­cant to note that from the Pun­jab, it is only the BKU Ugra­han group is the only Kisan or­gan­i­sa­tion which has reached the protest site so far. It clearly shows the fault lines within the Kisan bod­ies as many of them ei­ther sup­port the stand of the BJP or have so far cho­sen to re­main silent on the is­sue.  This does not au­gur well for or­gan­i­sa­tions which should have a peo­ple-cen­tric ap­proach.

Shout­ing slo­gans against the CAA-NRP-NRC reg­i­men and ex­press­ing views of com­mu­nal har­mony, the vol­un­teers reached Sha­heen Bagh to a rous­ing wel­come from the par­tic­i­pants at the Mor­cha.

Vol­un­teers in­clud­ing men, women and chil­dren in eight buses were taken to Gur­d­wara Bala Sahib at Ma­ha­rani Bagh Gur­d­wara Sahib.

A sem­blance of Sikhs from other or­gan­i­sa­tions and bod­ies from Delhi greeted them upon reach­ing Sha­heen Bagh.
