[ad_1]
Darshan Pal, president of the Krantikari Kisan Union, stated on Friday that the show of unity among the many farmers’ outfits and help from a number of sections of the society have been the driving power behind the continued protests in opposition to the brand new farm legal guidelines.
He asserted that they might only intensify additional if the Centre didn’t repeal the legal guidelines.
He stated the goal of the proposed “tractor parade’’ by farmers’ outfits on January 26 was not to disrupt the Republic Day celebrations. “Our target is not the India Gate, Rajpath, Lal Quila or Parliament. All we are asking is for a route in Delhi where farmers can parade on their tractors and vehicles on Republic Day,” he stated.
“We only want show how many people have been protesting for the farmers’ cause for the past two months. The tractor parade is not only in Delhi only, but will be held at State and district headquarters across the country. We want to show that every section of the society is extending its support to the farmers, and they have a constitutional right to exercise it… but if the government tries to throttle the proposed parade, it will stand exposed,” he stated.
Farmers would proceed to hunt permission for the ‘tractor parade’ in Delhi, Mr. Pal stated. “All the outfits will soon have discussions on issues surrounding the holding of the tractor parade in Delhi. We will take the opinion of legal experts as well and find a solution.”
Mr. Pal stated the agrarian disaster was not restricted to Punjab and Haryana. In reality each part of agriculture-based society throughout the nation was being impacted, and all of them had prolonged help to the continued protest. “Apart from the new farm laws, the issue of indebtedness and Minimum Support Price (MSP) have come to the centre-stage through this ongoing agitation. Also, the protest have led to consolidation and unity among farmers’ unions. In this backdrop, I am confident that this movement will only intensify across the country,” he stated.
Mr. Pal stated the choice of the Bharatiya Kisan Unions’s Bhupinder Singh Mann to recuse himself from the committee of consultants nominated by the Supreme Court for negotiations with the farmers was a welcome transfer. “It’s in fact a humiliation for the government,” he stated.
“The pressure of protest is mounting on the government… We have also conveyed a message to Anil Ghanwat, the farmer leader from Maharashtra who is part of the committee. If he also quits, it will be a shocker for the government,” he stated.
