In protest against the arrest of AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal, Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, cabinet ministers, MLAs, office bearers, workers and a large number of people observed a day-long fast at Khatkar Kalan on Sunday.
Bhagwant Mann launched a fierce attack on the BJP and said that this collective fast is a message to the dictators.
He said that we have gathered against dictatorship in Khatkar Kalan, the village of Shaheed-e-Azam Bhagat Singh. Today, educated and patriotic people are afraid that democracy will be finished.
any disguise. Just press the button of ‘jharoo’, and Bhagat Singh’s revolution come. His soul will get peace. We are fighting the war of independence.
He said that today the Center is discriminating against Punjab. It has stopped 5500 crore rupees of RDF (Rural Development Fund). I am fighting them alone. I go to the Supreme Court. I fight the Governor. I am fighting the BJP.
He said that there is no need to be afraid of going to jail. Our leader has not gone to jail for the first time. Punjab has led many times. Be it the war of independence or the green revolution. Punjab always leads. Then the country follows. We have to support Arvind Kejriwal and take his ideas forward.

He said that when there is a non-BJP government in any state, they resort to harassment. I also have to go to the Supreme Court on every issue. The governor is harassing and the centre has stopped our funds. Arvind Kejriwal was put in jail at the time of elections because the Aam Aadmi Party was a threat to the BJP.
They are saying that they will cross 400 seats, but nothing like that is going to happen. People have already made up their mind that they will vote against this dictatorship. What have they done till now apart from buying MLAs and MPs? If they are so confident about getting more than 400 seats, then why are they poaching ministers and MLAs of other parties and why are they putting opposition leaders in jail? Actually, they are afraid of losing.
