Farmer activist Navdeep Singh Jalbera walked out of Ambala Central Jail on Tuesday evening after spending 111 days in jail, he was granted bail by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a case registered in connection with farmers' February 13 'Dilli Chalo' march.
On Wednesday farmer leaders went to Ambala to bring Navdeep Singh to the Shambhu border to honour him. Farmers took out a "victory march' celebrating his 4release from the jail. A stage was set up at Shambhu border where he was felicitated.
While talking to The Indian Express, Navdeep Singh said, "I will never bow down to pressure. I have never yielded to it in the past either. I fully endorse the call of our leaders to march towards Delhi once the barricades are removed from Shambhu border. No matter, even if they lodge another case against me."
He was arrested by Haryana Police from Mohali on March 28 on various charges, including rioting and attempt to murder. The case lodged against him related to the February 13 commotion between farmers and police at Shambhu border when farmers were trying to march ahead and they were stopped by cops.
Although Navdeep Singh was released from jail on Tuesday evening, the farm outfits decided to go ahead with their call for a gathering in Ambala (grain market) even though they postponed the call for a protest in front of the SP office.
For the past few days, the farm outfits in Ambala were preparing for a protest in front of Ambala SP office to press for the release of Navdeep Singh.
