The farmers are requesting the police in Delhi not to use force against them.
The demand for a law on MSP, which is meant to protect farmers from the vagaries of the market, is the core issue for the protesting farmers in Delhi.
The farmers are also demanding a loan waiver, the implementation of the Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations, pension for farmers and farm labourers, withdrawal of police cases filed against them during the earlier protest and justice for farmers killed in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri.
They are getting ready for another round of talks and also agitation in Delhi. They are preparing for a protest March in Delhi. There is no dearth of food and temporary shelters have been created by the farmers.
Farmers said they will peacefully resume their march towards Delhi. “We want to appeal to the government to not use force against us. We want to protest peacefully,”.
While the Government says that the farmer’s agitation is politically motivated, the farmers charge that the Government is al set to commercialise the agriculture.
