Haryana farmers in no mood to go home

KUNDLI/SINGHU/SONIPAT: Even amid victory celebrations after the central government has repealed its three agri-marketing laws, the Haryana farmers said on Saturday that they will keep camping outside Delhi until their cases were withdrawn and they received a “concrete assurance” on MSP (minimum support price). The farmers said they wanted no issue to be pending and they were not in hurry to go home. “What’s a few more days when we have spent a year at the agitation’s sites,” said a farmer. Their controlling unions said they had “taught the BJP government a lesson in the recent elections”. The claimed that whether at the Delhi morcha or in Haryana, the farmers had never left their post. The Haryana farmers said they’ll keep confronting the BJP-JJP members and disrupting their events for the “200 FIRs they lodged against 50,000-odd protesting farmers”. They accused the state government of trying to divide the agitation farmers and claimed they had run the longest peaceful movement since the freedom struggle. “We are not going anywhere until all the cases are taken back,” said farmer unionist Inderjeet Singh, one of those who had met with the CM a day before for the withdrawal of cases.
