The protestors said that the issue of Punjab University is very important. This is not a university issue alone but it is a battle of Punjab. A movement is needed for the battle of Punjab, whatever battle is fought Akali Dal will support it.
Pratap Singh Bajwa said that the rights of Punjab are being taken away from the last few years. Paddy is not being picked. DAP fertilizer is not available.
