A tractor march is also being taken out by farmers at Barodi Toll Plaza in New Chandigarh, Mohali. Farmers clearly say that the government is pushing Punjab every time. We are not being given legal guarantee of MSP law. Punjab is being snatched from Chandigarh. This will not be tolerated.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher has said that today tractor marches are being taken out across the country including Punjab-Haryana. Today we are in Silo Kathu Nangal Amritsar. Goods will be stored here and will be sold to you at high prices. Our demand is that a legal guarantee law of MSP should be made. The farmers and laborers of the country should be made debt free. Crop insurance scheme should be implemented. Today the flag is being hoisted at different places by the Government of India. It is also being said that the 76th Republic Day is being celebrated. It is said that the Constitution has come into force on this day, but there was no discrimination against us. We should get justice for Lakhimpur-Kheri. Former Union Minister of State for Home Affairs drove vehicles directly on farmers. Shubhkaran was shot directly. Even today, 80 crore farmers of the country are asking the Prime Minister of the country to respect our voice.
Farmer leader Balraj Joshi has told that tractor marches are being taken out at 9 places in Patiala. Different farmer organizations are involved in this. The places where tractor marches are being taken out include Patara, Samana, Bhadason, Rajpura, Ghanaur, Devigarh, etc. Protests are being held against the central government through tractor march. Because, the demands of the farmers are being ignored by the central government. The central government is propagating among the people that farmers are getting a lot. Wrong information is being given to the people that if the demand for MSP is met, the prices of crops will increase. Actually there is nothing like this. Demonstrations are going on in favor of Shambhu and Khanauri Morcha. Demonstrations will be held outside the houses of MPs. Whereas, on February 13, farmers will hold a conference in Jind.
In Amritsar, farmer leader Parminder Singh said that in the coming days, a big battle will be fought by the United Kisan Morcha. It will include farmers, laborers, employees, shopkeepers and factory employees of every class. The efforts being made to implement the agricultural laws will be withdrawn. We wish for the health of farmer Dallewal Sahib. We demand from the government to fulfill the demands of the farmers. Because, such a big farmer is not born easily. The United Kisan Morcha is trying to unite this struggle, which will happen soon. The tractors will turn towards Delhi.
