Farmers to march Delhi again, security tightened on Haryana border; riot control vehicles deployed

Samyukta Kisan Morcha has announced to march towards Delhi again on Sunday. Sarwan Singh Pandher, head of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, said that we waited for talks with the central government till Saturday evening, but after no meaningful initiative, we have now decided that the second batch of 101 farmers will march peacefully to Delhi on foot at 12 noon on Sunday. While Haryana Police has tightened the arrangements to stop the farmers at Shambhu border on Haryana-Punjab border and other major border entry points of the state.

Farmers to march towards Delhi again

However, Pandher questioned that earlier the central and Haryana governments had put a condition that if farmers want to go to Delhi without tractor-trolleys, they will not be stopped. Now when we want to go to Delhi on foot as a group without tractor-trolleys, then why are we being stopped.  Even though Pandher claimed that 20 farmers were injured in Friday's incident. What the central and Haryana governments did to the farmers has exposed their face.

Agriculture Minister should not mislead the country – Farmer

Although Agriculture Minister Shivraj Chauhan and other BJP leaders are giving statements on TV that they are in talks with the farmers, whereas till date they have not even been called for talks. Agriculture Minister should not mislead the country. According to Sarwan Singh Pandher, what we have been saying continuously, Shivraj Chauhan has said the same thing that we are giving 50 percent MSP. Pandher said that this does not even cover our expenses on sowing the crop. The Union Agriculture Minister should not mislead the country.
