“Sikh farmers carrying swords, sticks and chanting ‘Khalistan zindabad’ in the ongoing protest against farm bills”
What FACTLY found
Video shared in the post is an old one. This video shows a rally conducted by a large group of Sikh men in 2016. This rally was conducted in protest of the Lalkar Rally planned by Akhila Bharatiya Hindu Suraksha Samiti (ABHSS) in Amritsar. This video has nothing to do with the ongoing farmers protest over the new farm bills
