Today, Farmer leaders Rakesh Tikait, Balbir Singh Rajewal and Darshan Pal Singh were among the thousands of farmers gathered at a Mahapanchayat in Haryana’s Charkhi Dadri to garner support for the protest against the three farm laws.
Farmer leader Darshan Pal Singh asked to intensify the agitation in Haryana.
He said, “The Haryana BJP government has let down people and has no right to stay in power,”
Adding that he had cautioned the government about the new farm bills during the initial discussion but his voice was not heard.
He urged the youth to come ahead and take forward the agitation.
Rakesh Tikait was also present at the Mahapanchayat. He said Khap panchayats had emerged as a strong social set up during the times of Raja Harshvardhan.
Assuring the Kisan Morcha leaders, he stated, “The government tried to divide people on the basis of Haryana and Punjab, sardar and non-sardar but you should stay strong. There is not a single weak link in the agitation,”
Talking about the violence on Republic Day, he alleged, “Our young people were misguided and taken to the Red Fort by government agencies.”
“Two government representatives came to meet me yesterday but I refused to meet them separately as every discussion will be held collectively in the presence of 40 members of the kisan morcha,” Tikait mentioned.
