Punjab farmers burn Jio’s SIM cards as a token of their protest to the corporates.

The farmers, especially in Punjab and Haryana, are conducting agitations, to protest against the bills undemocratically passed in the Parliament recently. The new Laws  have thrown the farm sector to the ruthless exploitation of Indian and Foreign corporates. During one such agitations in Punjab, the farmers have burned Jio SIMs, as a token of their opposition to the exploitations of the corporates. Kizan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee’s, state General Secretary, Shri Sarwan Singh Pandher said, “First corporates will try to lure us with good offers. But, later on they render us helpless.” 

 

The statement of this Kizan leader very much applies to the business tactics being adopted by Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio.
