The two women, who have been identified as Sippy Sharma and Veerpal Kaur, have come forward in the video and said that they were assured of their appointment in the previous Punjab government, but as the previous government failed to live up to their promises, the physical instructors entrusted the Aam Aadmi Party’s Government to carry out the task. However, even after 7 months, there has been no change in the situation.
According to reports, the instructors have also threatened to immolate themselves if their demands are not met and the supporters of their cause were also protesting along with them on the ground.
