Posted on 18th Feb 2021 by rohit kumar

Today is the 85th day of the peasant movement against agricultural laws. Farmers are stopping railways across the country today. This series started from 12 noon till 4 pm. This performance is showing more impact in Haryana-Punjab. Demonstrators are sitting on the track in several big cities of both states. Here, trains are also being stopped in Jaipur and nearby areas in Rajasthan. The impact of the demonstration is being seen at the Jagatpura railway station in Jaipur.

 

Political parties are also involved in this demonstration of farmers. In Patna, activists of the Jan Adhikar Party (democratic) started stopping the train half an hour before the scheduled time (12 noon). Some activists lay on the track, with the police taking them into custody.

 

The farmers say they want a peaceful demonstration. They also want to reach the public. It is not their motive to bother anyone. Therefore, milk and water arrangements have been made for the children traveling on the train.

Farmer leader said - no return home before return of law

Farmers are insistent that the government withdraw all three agricultural laws. Bharatiya Kisan Union (Haryana) President Gurnam Singh Chanduni has once again stated that his organization is fighting for the interests of farmers and they will not return to their homes till the return of new agricultural laws. Chanduni said that through programs like Panchayat and Mahapanchayat across the country, people will be told that the central government is not of the common people but corporates.
