New Delhi, December 14
The farmer leaders sitting on a day-long hunger strike while protesting against the three new agricultural laws on Monday have ended their fast.
They ended their fast after “Ardaas” of Guru Nanak Dev.
They also appealed to other farmer leaders at other borders like Ghazipur to end their day-long hunger strike.
They also prayed for the welfare of all (Sarbat da Bhala) and for the success of their cause by reciting Gurbani.
The prayers ended with the slogan “Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji ki Fateh” resonating in the air at the Singhu border protest site.
After ending their strike, the farmer leaders drank water and ate fruits like apples and oranges.
They had begun their fast at 8 am on Monday.
Those who sat on hunger strike included Gurnam Singh Chironi from Haryana, Harinder Singh Lakhowal from Punjab and other leaders of more than 30 farmer unions under the banner of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha.
Earlier, farmer leader Baldev Singh said, “Representatives of farmer unions have started their hunger strike at Singhu border.”
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal appealed to people to fast wherever they are in support of protesting farmers, and asserted that farmers would win in the end.
