MP farmers stuck at Haryana’s Palwal Expressway, Kakkaji urges more and more farmers to join historic protests at Palwal
Police have rather allowed them to walk towards Delhi but the farmers said the arrangement is unjustified and impractical as their tractor-trolleys are laden with clothes and ration.
As the farmers’ protest against the Centre’s contentious farm laws is intensifying day by day, about 600 farmers from Madhya Pradesh have been stuck near Atoha village for three days as there’s heavy deployment of police personnel to stop them from entering Delhi on their tractor-trolleys.
Police have rather allowed them to walk towards Delhi but the farmers said the arrangement is unjustified and impractical as their tractor-trolleys are laden with clothes and ration. The police have blocked both sides of the Delhi-Agra National Highway-19 where farmers have been made to camp for three days.
The police have been holding us up without any justification. Their stance is impractical. How can we march ahead without food and clothes? We want to join our brothers, who are protesting against the three farm laws at the Delhi border, said Surender Singh Sidhu, a farmer from MP.
He appreciated the hospitality shown by locals saying the residents from neighbouring villages – Kalsara, Bahrola and Atoha have been providing us with milk, vegetables, fruits and water.
Meanwhile, Shivkumar Sharma ‘Kakkaji’, national coordinator of the Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Mahasangh, has urged farmers from the state to reach Haryana’s Palwal in large numbers where he is camping with thousands of farmers. He has also anchored the farmers’ stir in MP in 2017.
He said it’s a historic agitation and the world is looking at the protesters with some of the countries extending support to the stir. At Least 4,000-5,000 farmers are camping at Palwal where the traffic movement is blocked. It was a long pending protest, he added.
