Randhawa's backing comes shortly after fellow Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma also lent her voice to the cause
Punjabi singer Guru Randhawa has expressed his support for the ongoing protest by international students in Canada, who are calling for an extension of the post-graduate work permit. The protest, taking place in Brampton, has now entered its 34th consecutive day.
Randhawa's backing comes shortly after fellow Punjabi singer Sunanda Sharma also lent her voice to the cause, sharing a message of solidarity on social media.
The protest began gaining widespread attention after a viral video showed an international student emotionally sharing their struggle of leaving their home country in pursuit of better opportunities, only to face difficulties in securing a work permit.
Hundreds of students, most of whom are from India, have joined the protest, raising awareness about the critical role the post-graduate work permit plays in their ability to gain work experience and build a future in Canada.
The support from popular figures like Guru Randhawa and Sunanda Sharma has amplified the movement, drawing more attention to the hardships faced by international students as they continue their fight for the extension of work permits in a foreign land.
