‘Expect large crowds from other states at Ghazipur border’
Description
Ghaziabad: A prominent farmer leader at UP Gate on Sunday said that a large number of people were expected to arrive from Haryana, Uttarakhand, Punjab and other parts of UP at the Ghazipur border in the coming days. Jagtar Singh Bajwa, spokesperson for Samyukta Kisan Morcha at the Ghazipur border, said, “The mahapanchayat in Lucknow on November 22 will be held as planned. Then, on the occasion of the completion of one year of the protest on November 26, farmers will congregate at Delhi’s borders,” he said. After that, the SKM will meet on November 27 at the Singhu border to discuss its strategy, Bajwa added. BKU leader Rakesh Tikait, meanwhile, tweeted, “The agricultural reforms being talked about by the government are fake. The plight of farmers is not going to change with them. The biggest reform will be to legislate MSP.” Farmers at UP Gate said they would not return home with mere announcements. Virender Singh, a farmer from Haryana, said, “The government should not think it has done us a favour. There is a need for a law on MSP. If that is not done, the protest will continue.”
