Farmers March to Delhi – Bhartiya Kisan Parishad
The Bhartiya Kisan Parishad (BKP) leader, Sukhbir Khalifa, announced on Sunday that their farmer organisation will commence its march towards Delhi on Monday, December 2, to demand compensation and benefits under the new agricultural laws. Speaking to ANI, Khalifa said, “We are ready for our march. Tomorrow, on December 2, we will begin from under the Maha Maya flyover in Noida. By noon, we will gather there to press for our demands for compensation and benefits as per the new laws.”
Other Farmer Organisations Join the Movement
In addition to the BKP, other organisations like the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM, non-political) are also planning similar marches to Delhi starting December 6. These groups intend to march on foot to highlight their demands.
Farmers at Shambhu Border to Join
Sarwan Singh Pandhair, General Secretary of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC), shared that farmers protesting at the Shambhu border (Punjab-Haryana border) would join the Delhi march on December 6. Their demands include a guaranteed Minimum Support Price (MSP) and other critical issues.
Notably, on October 26, farmers from Badhrukha in Sangrur district had also gathered in large numbers to protest against the government, calling for timely resolutions to their concerns.
Haryana Minister Criticises the March
Haryana Agriculture Minister Shyan Singh Rana criticised the upcoming march, arguing that farmers lack valid reasons to protest. He stated, “They have no issues. The previous agitation was about the three farm laws, which were repealed by PM Narendra Modi, who even apologised. This new agitation will only cause further losses to Punjab.”
Rana further commented on the impact of such protests on Punjab’s industries, noting that “Rice miller industries have already shifted to Bihar and Madhya Pradesh due to these agitations. We will not allow disruptions to law and order in Haryana. Farmers should resolve their issues with their Chief Minister instead of creating unnecessary unrest.”
