Farmers' Protest
Punjab: Farmers stop screening of Akshay Kumar's film Sooryavanshi
Hoshiyarpur/IBNS: A group of farmers protesting against Centre's farm laws forced five cinema halls here to stop the screening of Akshay Kumar-starrer "Sooryavanshi', media reports said.
Activists of the Bharti Kisan Union (Kadian), led by the outfit's district president Swaran Dhugga, tore posters of the movie put up outside the cinema halls, news agency PTI reported.
The protesters took out a demonstration and a protest march from the local Shaheed Udham Singh Park to Swaran cinema against the screening of the movie.
They condemned Akshay Kumar for not supporting their protest, adding that they would not allow screening of his movies until the farm laws are repealed.
Hundreds of farmers are camped at Delhi borders since November last year demanding that the government repeal the three agri laws -- Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; Farmers' (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
