Large convoys of farmers from Punjab leaves for Delhi borders
Description
BATHINDA: Done with the wheat harvest, farmers have started returning to protest sites on the borders of Delhi. Large convoys of farmers from many districts of Punjab left for Singhu and Tikri border on Monday. Farmers from Haryana welcomed Punjab farmers at Shambhu border and served langar. Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leaders said that farmers from Punjab and Haryana are committed to the success of this movement. They claimed that the BJP government was trying to spread the lie that movement was weakening but farmers were constantly coming to the protest sites and fighting with full strength. The SKM asserted that farmers would end the protest only after their demands of repeal of farm laws and a constitution of a law on MSP were met. The SKM said farm laws would promote privatisation of the agricultural sector, which would ruin farmers’ life and cause immense loss to the poor.
