Also said that there will be no change in the security arrangements at the border.

 

America praised agricultural laws

He says that these reforms will strengthen the Indian market and private investment will also increase.

Farmer leader said - now will not talk to ministers, PM should come forward

The farmers, who have been protesting on the borders of Delhi for 2 months, are engaged in a strategy to intensify their movement. In this connection, Kisan Mahapanchayat was held in Kandela village of Jind district of Haryana on Wednesday. In this, Rakesh Tikait, spokesman of the Indian Farmers Union, said that now he will not talk to the Agriculture Minister or any other minister. Now the Prime Minister and the Home Minister will have to come forward for talks.

 

'When the king is afraid, he resorts to fortifications'

Tikait further said, "Right now farmers are demanding the return of laws, what will the government do when they demand the return of the throne?" When a king is afraid, the fort resorts to captivity. This is exactly what is happening. The restrictions that have been imposed on the border are not done even for the enemy. But the farmer will not be scared. Farmers will lie on it and cross it.

 

Tikait also refused to reduce the number of members of the farmers' committee for talks by the government. He said horses are never changed in the middle battle. Those who are members of the committee will remain there.

 

5 Proposals Passed in Mahapanchayat

1. Government withdraw all three agricultural laws

2. Make MSP law

3. Apply Swaminathan Committee Report

4. Caught people and seized tractors be released

5. Debt of farmers waived
