“I appeal to everyone to join this.”
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Sunday appealed to people, including lawyers, to join Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal's newly launched platform 'Insaaf ke Sipahi' to fight injustice.
Mr. Sibal, an eminent lawyer and an Independent Rajya Sabha member, announced on Saturday that he was setting up a new platform called, ‘Insaaf ke Sipahi’, to fight injustice prevailing in the country, and sought support of Chief Ministers and other leaders of opposition parties.
"This is a very important initiative of Kapil Sibal sahib. I appeal to everyone to join this and we will fight injustice together," Mr. Kejriwal said in a tweet.
Later, speaking to presspersons, Mr. Kejriwal said that Mr. Sibal is a well known lawyer who is very active when it comes to social and political issues.
With his initiative, Mr. Sibal wants to connect people belonging to various sections of the society, “especially the lawyers” across the country, he said.
"I appeal to lawyers and people of the country to join this initiative, and make every possible effort to help aggrieved persons get justice, wherever there is injustice with anybody,” he said.
In 2021, five women from Mayithara, four of them MGNREGA (Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act) workers, found a common ground in their desire to create a sustainable livelihood by growing vegetables. Rajamma M., Mary Varkey, Valsala L., Elisho S., and Praseeda Sumesh, aged between 70 and 39, pooled their savings, rented a piece of land and began their collective vegetable farming journey under the Deepam Krishi group.
