Amritsar, March 2
The Amritsar unit of the Aam Admi Party (AAP) today organised Jhadu Chalao Yatra that received an overwhelming response from the residents. It passed through different villages enroute to Rajasansi and Ajnala.
The rally started from a place opposite the UK International Hotel with a cavalcade of around 250 bikes, which later expanded to more than 500 bikes.
The members of the AAP stopped at Kalyian Wala Khu site from where the skulls of martyrs were being excavated.
Convener, AAP Amritsar Unit, Ashok Talwar, said it was very unfortunate that no political party had ever tried to uncover this historical place where several innocent Indian soldiers were buried by the British.
Talwar said AAP would concentrate on eradicating drugs from the rural areas, especially in this border belt, providing better education and employment to the youth. He said a marketing mechanism would be developed for farmers so that they could resort to diversification of crops.
The main aim of this rally was to create awareness among the masses of rural areas about the policies of the AAP and the regressive acts of different governments that had exploited the people for their vested interests, said Gurbhej Singh.
Advocate JS Gill, Jagdeep Singh, Sardara Singh and NS Walia also addressed the people.
