Description/notes

Anjuman Muzareen Punjab is a movement of 1 million landless tenants based in villages stretching over 10 districts of Punjab. They are fighting for the land they have lived on for generations against the government and its allowance of land companies and the military to use the land despite its illegality. Some of the objectives of their movement include: ensuring the rights of ownership of agriculture and residential land for the tenants of Punjab; universal and free education and health care and the elimination of poverty, unemployment, inflation and ignorance.
