Will continue to protest till 2024 if farm laws aren’t rolled back: Tikait
Description
Roorkee: Ahead of the proposed Bharat Bandh on September 27, hundreds of farmers held a mahapanchayat rally held at a Sugar Mill compound in Laksar on Wednesday. Rakesh Tikait, the national spokesperson of the Bhartiya Kisan Union, addressed the rally. In his address, he slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the central government for “anti-farmer policies”. Tikait said, “In his last seven years, Modi has divided us on the lines of caste and religion and ruined the future of our youths and farmers. If he doesn’t roll back the farm laws, we will continue our dharna till 2024 Lok Sabha elections.” Notably, September 27 marks ten months of the farmers’ protest at the Delhi border.
