Women ryots take part in dharna
Description
Women farmers participated in large numbers in the ongoing relay hunger strike at Indira Park on Wednesday to express solidarity with the agitation by farmers in New Delhi. They took part under the banners Rythu Swarajya Vedika, Mahila Kisan Adhikar Manch, Telangana Vyavasaya Vruttidarula Union and Palamuru Adhyayana Vedika. Several prominent activists representing various organisations addressed the gathering. Ms. Sandhya of Progressive Organisation for Women said the anti-farmer laws enacted by governments were meant to grab land and resources of farmers and hand them over to corporates represented by Adanis and Ambanis. Poet Vimala Morthala and Khalida Parveen of Amoomat Society who returned from Singhu and Tikri on Haryana border where the farmers were agitating narrated their experiences interacting with the farmers. The participants burnt copies of the three farms laws whose repeal was demanded by farmers. A poster exhibitionto counter the propaganda was organised.
