In the Kisan Mahapanchayat at Muzaffarnagar, lakhs of farmers reached and told the Central Government that the farmers are ready to continue the struggle against farm laws in a peaceful manner till the end. Farmers will launch ‘Vote ki chot’ campaign against the BJP in states, including Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Punjab.
Chaudhary Yudhveer Singh, national general secretary, Indian Farmers Union, and Harpal Singh Harpura, Punjab president of All India Jat Mahasabha, said to stop farmers, PM Modi and the UP Government used many ‘lousy’ tricks apart from stopping the rails, still lakhs of farmers from all over the country reached the Kisan Mahapanchayat at Muzaffarnagar and proved that no power can stop them and the intensity of the movement will increase.
They said farmers in West Bengal have already conveyed their power to the Centre through their votes. Now, if the Modi government does not repeal the farm laws and does not give legal guarantee of MSP, then farmers will start a campaign against BJP in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab and other states under the strategy of ‘Vote Ki Chot’ campaign.
They said along with getting the agricultural laws repealed, the campaign will also be against the Modi Government’s ‘anti-people’ decisions causing unrest among government employees. “It will also be against the rising unemployment and inflation. Apart from this, we will also oppose the retrenchment of employees from government departments,” they said.
They said that every section of society has come forward to support the proposed Bharat Bandh on September 27 against agri laws. Praduman Singh and Hoshiarpur district president Amarpal Singh Kaka also supported the statement.
