Punjab family says no to wedding gifts, requests guests to donate cash for Farmers’ protest

Muktsar (Punjab): It is marriage season in Punjab and families of brides and grooms are going an extra mile to collect funds for the ongoing farmers’ protest against the agri laws. They also installed a special donation box inside the venue and appealed from the dance floor to make generous donations.

The incident took place in Punjab's Muktsar, around 250 kilometres from Chandigarh. "Instead of paying us 'shagun' money for the couple, please donate for the farmers protesting in Delhi. This money will be used to provide food, warm clothes and other essentials to the farmers," an announcer is saying in a video clip from the wedding event.
