The Punjab Bachao Yatra evoked a historic response in the holy city with thousands coming out to meet and greet Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal, especially people from the weaker sections of society who registered a strong protest against both the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Congress governments for denying them social benefits extended by the erstwhile SAD government.
Amidst a sea of Kesri and to the sound of “Utho vi sher Punjabio, Punjab Bacha lo”, the SAD president mingled with the people who showered him with flower petals and garlanded him profusely as he toured five assembly constituencies in the city”.
