Baljinder Singh talking to media
I am proud, today is my wedding: Baljinder Singh
While talking, the groom Baljinder Singh said that of course I am getting married today, which could not be postponed. But being a farmer, I and my family support this strike by the farmers. Today I feel very proud that today the entire Punjab is closed and I am going to get married. My family is with the farmers and supported them today.
We also demand that the government should give the price of their crops based on the basic principles that our farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal has been fasting for a long time. The central government should fulfill the demands of the farmers soon. Baljinder Singh told that he was going to Muktsar to pick up his bride. He told that he had started from his home, he did not face any difficulty anywhere on the way.

On the call of Bharat Bandh, the shopkeepers of the markets of Bathinda also supported the farmers and kept their shops closed and on the other hand, a large number of trains were seen stopped at the railway station. Farmers sitting on dharna at Ghanaiya Chowk in Bathinda say that farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal is on a fast unto death. Today it has been almost 35 days, but the central government has ignored our views. Our demand is that farmers should get the right price for their crops and farmers had agitated earlier also, at that time the Modi government at the Center had accepted the demands but did not implement them, due to which we are struggling.
