Description
Responding to speculations that farmers would leave Delhi agitation, the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee leaders claimed that the agitation would not end until Centre assures farmers of the MSP and fulfils other demands.Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee Punjab, state general secretary Sarwan Singh Pandher said the Union Agriculture Minister was misleading the nation about the number of martyrs of the farmer struggle. He said no written document had been received on the withdrawal of police cases on farmers, amendment in Pollution Act and power bill. The agitation will continue until the demands were met.State senior vice-president Swainder Singh Chatala, said Centre doesn’t have any data on the number of martyrs of the agitation. However, postmortem of all martyrs during the agitation at Delhi border has been done. Total 689 farmers and labourers have been martyred.“Neither the Pollution Act nor the Electricity Bill has been amended. The Delhi Police and the Railway Police are also under the Centre and they didn’t cancel cases against farmers. No action has been taken against the Lakhimpur Kheri accused Ajay Mishra. Therefore, this morcha will continue,” said Pandher. — TNS
