Colonel Sehrawat
was an Aam Aadmi Party’s Lok Sabha contender having served in the army for
years. Working for about more than 20 years in the army, Devinder Sehrawat
decided to take up the cause of the weaker sections of society and started
working for farmers issues such as land acquisition who have been victimized by
unfair laws.
A brilliant IIM-Ahmedabad
student, Devinder Sehrawat
is a multi-faceted personality. He played various roles in his life from being a
soldier, journalist, social activist, and farmer’s leader. In addition, he has
been serving the nation with complete dedication. His patriotic spirit was
nurtured early in his childhood with his father and grandparents also serving
in the armed forc-es. He was born in a Jat family and attended the University
of Madras and Jawahar Lal Nehru University and attained Master of Science and
Bachelor of Science degrees.
There have been numerous cases when
the land has been forcibly acquired by the government on the terms that they
will be compensated for the same. However, this never happened. The villages
today are devoid of even the basic amenities. Major efforts are required to
improve the living conditions of the people residing in the villages in
Delhi-NCR. The villages in Delhi have been facing this fate since Independence
and furthermore have been victimized not only by unfair laws but also by
developers with stakes. It is on behalf of these farmers, that Devinder Kumar Sehrawat
has been taking up a hit with the government authorities at the highest levels.
Through his efforts, the lives of the farmers have also come to light and we
are able to see their problems. At present, farmers recognize him as a mentor
and a leader across India. Backed by AAP, he intends to continue his fight to
restore the honor and dignity of the neglected farmers.
