Kerala farmers reach Shahjahanpur, SOP on January 26 parade soon
Description
JAIPUR: While a large batch of farmers from Kerala reached Alwar’s Shahjahanpur on Friday to support the farmers’ agitation, Swaraj India president Yogendra Yadav, addressing the farmers, said the guidelines for the farmers’ parade on January 26 will be issued by Sanyunkt Kisan Morcha soon and also appealed to them to mobilise people to join the parade. “Starting from Friday till January 24, ask everybody through phone calls, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp messages and by meeting in person whether they are joining (the farmers’ parade) on January 26 or not,” said Yadav, who reached Shahjahanpur after visiting Haryana and other parts of the country as a part of Desh Jagruti Pakhwada. Appealing to the farmers to be cautious about rumours, Yadav said, “the BJP wants to weaken the farmers’ movement in south Haryana by raising the SYL (Satluj Yamuna Link Canal) issue, but farmers are familiar with these moves. They (farmers) will eventually win the battle.” Film actress Sonia Mann also reached Shahjahanpur from Tikri border on Friday to support the farmers’ movement. She said more actors from Punjab and Bollywood will arrive here in the coming days to support the farmers’ agitation.
