Bhartiya kisan parishad to start farmer's march to delhi today
NEW DELHI: Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP) leader Sukhbir Khalifa on Sunday said that their farmer organisation members will begin their march to Delhi on Monday, December 2, seeking compensation and benefits under the new agricultural laws.‘We are ready for our march towards Delhi. Tomorrow, on December 2, we will start our march towards Delhi from under the Maha Maya flyover (In Noida). At noon, all of us will reach there and demand our compensation and benefits as per the new laws,’ Sukhbir Khalifa told ANI.
Other farmer organisations, including the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM, non-political), have scheduled foot marches to the national capital beginning December 6.
Previously, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) general secretary Sarwan Singh Pandhair said that farmers demonstrating at the Shambhu border (Punjab-Haryana border) will proceed towards Delhi on December 6 to advocate for their demands, including a guaranteed Minimum Support Price (MSP).
On October 26, many farmers assembled at Badhrukha in Sangrur district to demonstrate against the government and advance their various demands, including timely paddy procurement. These demonstrations led to national highway blockades in Punjab's Phagwara, Sangrur, Moga, and Batala regions.
Concurrently, Haryana agriculture minister Shyan Singh Rana dismissed the planned farmer's march to Delhi, saying they lack valid concerns.
‘They have no issues. The previous farmers' agitation had an issue- the three farm laws. Those three laws were later repealed by PM Narendra Modi and he even apologised to them. The farmers' agitation has caused losses to Punjab,’ Shyan Singh Rana informed reporters in Karnal.
‘Rice miller industries from Punjab moved to Bihar and Madhya Pradesh... We will not let anyone play with the law and order situation in Haryana... They should talk to their Chief Minister and sort out their problems,’ he further said.
