Delhi Kooch Farmers to intensify protest with ‘Parliament March’
The agitating farmers, who are opposing the three new agricultural laws of the Central government, have announced 'Delhi Kooch' on Wednesday.
New Delhi: The agitating farmers, who are opposing the three new agricultural laws of the Central government, have announced 'Delhi Kooch' on Wednesday. "We will march to Parliament sometime in May," Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) said on Wednesday. The SKM, which is an umbrella body of protesting farmer unions, further said that the date for the planned march will be decided soon.
Thousands of farmers, mainly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been protesting on three borders of Delhi -- Tikri, Singhu and Ghazipur -- since November last year demanding repeal of the three contentious farm laws enacted last year.
The SKM also said that the protesting farmers will block Kundli–Manesar–Palwal (KMP) Expressway for 24 hours on April 10. The Centre has held several rounds of formal talks with the representatives of farmers in the past few months to resolve the issue but failed to achieve any concrete solution with the unions sticking to their main demand for the repeal of the legislations. Last month, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that the government and Parliament have great respect for farmers who are voicing their views on the three farm laws, and made it clear that those who want to continue with the old agriculture marketing system can continue doing so.
