AAP workers will participate in Bharat Bandh: Kejriwal

New Delhi, Dec 7 : Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday extended support to the farmers’ ‘Bharat Bandh’ call and assured that his party workers and supporters would participate in the ‘peaceful’ protest.
Kejriwal made the announcement while visiting the Singhu border at the Delhi-Haryana route — one of the protest sites where thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana are on continuous sit-in since November 26 demanding the abolition of the three contentious farm laws enacted in September during the Monsoon Session of Parliament.
It was Kejriwal’s first visit to any of the farmer protest sites.
During his visit, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor said, “My government’s and party’s support is with the protesting farmers”.
Asked if AAP will support Bharat Bandh, Kejriwal said: “AAP supports farmers’ Bharat Bandh call. All AAP supporters will participate in the nationwide protest. I hope that the protest will be held peacefully across the country. I appeal to all the countrymen to participate in the bandh call.” Kejriwal said he visited the protest site as a ‘Sewadar’ (servant).
