Satyagraha in support of farmers’ stir to be organised in Delhi: Jat

Jaipur: Kisan Mahapanchayat leader Rampal Jat on Wednesday informed that a “Satyagraha” in support of farmers’ agitation will be organized in Delhi. In the first phase, 200 Satyagrahis will be selected from all the assembly constituencies in Rajasthan.As apart of the Satyagraha, they will be observing fast, stage demonstrations, organise hunger strikes and submit memorandum addressing the Prime Minister (Narendra Modi).“The farmers’ movement in the country is becoming a mass movement. A decision has been taken to begin a ‘Satyagraha’ in Delhi. A workshop will be organized in Jaipur on March 13 and 14 to provide training to these Satyagrahis. A resolution will be passed at that time to finalize the date and place of Satyagraha,” said Jat.“The path of truth, peace and non-violence will strengthen the movement of the farmers. Only a non-violent and peaceful movement will open up the avenue for an acceptable solution to the farmers’ problems. The government should bring a law guaranteeing minimum support price (MSP) for agricultural produce and must withdraw the three farm laws that have been enacted to help the corporates,” he added.The heavy rains on Tuesday night at Alwar’s Shahjahanpur border caused heavy destruction at protest site. The tents at the site collapsed and their beds got wet completely.
