Dallewal hospitalised

Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) convener Jagjit Singh Dallewal was admitted to a private hospital at Barnala after he complained of a severe pain in the stomach following the “Kisan Mahapanchayat” held at Dhanaula on Monday.

He was running fever since morning. According to doctors, Dallewal’s body has become weak due to his 132-day fast, and it will take him some time to recuperate fully.

Addressing farmers at the mahapanchayat, Dallewal said he and other farm leaders would visit various parts of the country to unite farmers in a big way to strengthen the farm stir. He said he would intensify the “andolan” for the fulfilment of all demands of the farmers, including legal guarantee on MSP for all crops.

Dallewal reached Dhanaula from Khanna in the afternoon to participate in the Kisan Mahapanchayat.
