MULTAN, Pakistan, 20 March, 2021, (TON): The Pakistani farmers association, Kissan Ittihad, on Friday rampaged on their work vehicles to fight the climb in costs of electricity, composts, rural items, and diesel.
The farmers have also announced to stage a dharna on March 31 to continue their protest, sources said.
According to the protesters, the Imran Khan-led Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government has bought agricultural commodities at very low prices, so much so that farmers could not even attain a breakeven.
Despite losses, farmers were compelled to pay hiked prices for diesel, electricity, and fertilizers, they argued. “Everything is so expensive, the agricultural community is on the verge of collapse,” the protesting farmers said.
The farmers have demanded a waiver of the electricity bills for running tube wells as well as subsidy on electricity, fertilizers, and diesel.
CANBERRA, 15 March, 2021, (TON): A huge number of ladies assembled outside Australia's parliament, towns, and urban areas the nation over on Monday (Mar 15) to partake in conventions calling for sex equity and equity for casualties of rape.
The March 4 Justice Rallies were prodded by a new influx of claims of rape, separation, and wrongdoing in a portion of Australia's most noteworthy political workplaces.
Women wore black to represent "strength and mourning", while carried banners with slogans including "Shatter the silence. Stop the violence" and joined "We will not be silenced" chants.
A delegation of organizers dismissed a challenge to meet with Prime Minister Scott Morrison in private, while heads of the significant resistance ideological groups came out to join the groups.
As of late announced outrages incorporate assault charges against Attorney-General Christian Porter, who has emphatically denied the supposed 1988 attack, saying it essentially didn't occur.
A senior political consultant for Morrison's Liberal Party has additionally been blamed by a few ladies for assault or rape. The man has not been named, nor remarked freely on the claims.
The public indignation regarding the public authority's treatment of supposed episodes of rape reflects the assessment in plain view in London over the course of the end of the week, where protests were held after the killing of 33-year-old Sarah Everard, who vanished while heading back home at evening time.
Deirdre Heitmeyer, aged 68, said she drove for more than six hours to attend the protest outside Parliament House.
"I can’t believe we have to still do this. We were out in the 1970s calling for equality and we are still here,”
The allegations involving people in Morrison's government and political party are expected to dominate parliamentary proceedings over the next two weeks.
Both Porter and Defence Minister Linda Reynolds - who has been criticized for failing to report an alleged rape of one of her former staff members by another - are both on sick leave.
Reynolds on Friday apologized "unreservedly" and reached a financial settlement with her former staff Brittany Higgins over the latter's allegation of rape by the unnamed former Liberal Party employee in Parliament House. Reynolds had called Higgins a "lying cow" in front of staff, a comment she said referenced comments by Higgins related to her treatment after the alleged assault, not the assault itself.
