Addressing the media in Chandigarh on Tuesday, Punjabi actors Amitoj Mann, Babbu Mann, Gul Panag, Ranjit Bawa, Jass Bajwa and agriculture expert Devinder Sharma said the “manch” is the outcome of the farmer’s agitation, “which has brought a positive thought among the people of Punjab and has given us the right direction”.

“We have come up with a 32-point agenda covering all major issues of Punjab. If any political party agrees to our agenda, we will support it, but will not become its part,” said Punjabi singer and actor Babbu Mann said.

Amitoj Mann, a Punjab actor and director, said: “Punjab is passing through a bad phase. The main motive of political parties is to loot the state by any means. Today, the youth of Punjab is leaving the state and going abroad as we do not have many opportunities here.”
