Pak singer brings attention towards farmer's miseries in new song

AMRITSAR: After singers of India's Punjab came in support of agitating

farmers

, support has trickled in from across the border.

Kisana- a song sung by Pakistani Punjab’s Jawad Ahmad, invokes the fighting spirit of farmers. In a nearly three-minute video, the song not only speaks of farmer's significance, their predicaments but also inspires them to forget their past disputes and rise to the occasion.

Like Indian Punjabi singers, the song by the Pakistani signer is also going viral on social media.

Jawad, while talking to TOI from

Lahore

, who drew a parallel between the condition of the farmers of erstwhile undivided India.

While supporting the farmer's agitations, he said "The situation for peasants here in Pakistan is dismal too, the third world economies are still largely based on primitive methods and tools of agriculture and we need a peasant's right movement all over the world including Pakistan".

Notably, various Indian Punjabi singers including

Kanwar Grewal

, Harbhajan Mann, Jass Bajwa, Himmat Sandhu etc. have thrown their weight behind farmers in their protests against the three agri laws.

Jawad said he made ‘Kisana’ so that the farming community across the world feels motivated by the movement initiated by Indian farmers and demand their rights in their respective countries.

Recipient of three presidential state awards including Tamgha-e-Imtiaz for music, Sitara-e-Eesar for social work and Human Rights award for raising voice for working classes, Jawad is also the Chairman of Barabri Party Pakistan.
