Fight for farmers abroad too: Punjabis settled in US-Canada started social media campaign, live streaming of Protest

Posted on 2nd Dec 2020 by rohit kumar

The farmers' movement on the Delhi border against agricultural laws is getting worldwide support. Especially in Canada, America, Australia, England, and other countries, Punjabis are supporting the peasant movement on social media. Protests are being done in support of the movement in these countries and they are also being streamed live on social media. Punjabis are working to increase this movement through every means of social media.

 

Language also changed on social media to increase the movement

 

The posts were being shared on social media earlier in Punjabi and English. Now, to gain more support, status is being added in Hindi. An atmosphere is being created in favor of the farmer's movement against the agricultural laws of the Government of India and the strategy of posting this in Hindi is being successful. The experts are working like an IT team to increase the Punjabi farmer movement abroad.

 

Hashtag war to weaken the movement, but fail

 

There were also efforts to weaken this movement. On social media, attempts were made to give tags like politics, politics, fake farmers, former Protest hijack, and Khalistan, but it did not work. In support, Punjabis based in Punjab, Haryana, and abroad have run many hashtags like Kisan Ekta Zindabad, I Support Farmer Protest, Tractor 2 Twitter, Stand with Farmer Challenge, and are being continuously promoted.

 

Kuldeep Khaira, a dairy businessman in Ludhiana, says - on social media, in which more people are supported, the common man considers it right. Considering this, I am constantly active on social media in support of farmers. The Center brought legislation, but they have to understand the difference between the agriculture and the economy of Punjab and Haryana.

 

They say that only if the farmer earns money from farming, then the farmer will come to the city and shop. Center should not withdraw the law, but with the creation of MSP of the crop, the government's control over the stock and maximum price is necessary, if it is left on the corporate sector, farmers will also be killed along with the common man.

 

Political parties respond to IT cell

Amanjot Dhall of Ardas NGO of Jalandhar says - Every political party has an IT cell. True or false, they publicize their agenda and people accept it as true. That is why we also used all types of social media in support of the farmer movement. Have hashtag trends. We may not have land, but the conscience is there. What is right and what is wrong? We are telling this to the world. The farmers of Punjab and Haryana were called Khalistani, now farmers are coming from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Himachal Pradesh also, what will they call these political parties?
