Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann, AAP leaders to go on hunger strike

Chandigarh, April 4

In protest against the arrest of AAP supremo Arvind Kejriwal, a mass hunger strike will be held on April 7 at Khatkar Kalan, the native village of Bhagat Singh, which will be led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann.

The party had given a call for a mass hunger strike across the country yesterday to protest against Kejriwal’s arrest. Sources say that the party’s Punjab unit is going to organise a mass hunger strike at Khatkar Kalan, in which the party’s MLAs and key office-bearers will participate. The party will also observe fasts at the district level.

Apart from this, Bhagwant Mann will start a contact campaign with AAP volunteers to give a fillip to the party campaign in 13 Lok Sabha constituencies here.
