CALLING THE agitation towards farm rules the “largest and longest ever protest within the nation”, farmer union leaders addressing the first-ever ‘Mahapanchayat’ of Punjab in Jagraon constituency of Ludhiana Thursday, mentioned none of them will return with out getting the rules repealed.

“Our our bodies would possibly come, however we will be able to now not come with out successful,” mentioned Kiranjeet Singh Sekhon from Kul hind Kisan Federation, whilst talking from the dais, addressing a big amassing within the grain marketplace of Jagraon. According to Top Minister Narendra Modi’s remark, “MSP thi, MSP hai, MSP rahegi”, the union leaders from the level asserted “Assi datte si, assi datte haan, assi datte rahange (we stood company, we’re status company and we will be able to stay status company)”.

This ‘Mahapanchayat’ used to be an effort by way of farmer unions to depict their cohesion as a result of for the 1st time, Bharti Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) president Joginder Singh Ugrahan shared level with 30 farmer union leaders the place additionally they addressed the loads.

Balbir Singh Rajewal, president of BKU Rajewal who addressed the loads final, mentioned, “Assi aandolan jitange, assi aandolan jittange, assi aandolan jitange (We will be able to win). On the other hand, I wish to assert to all of you that if we stay non violent.we will be able to win and if any violence occurs.Modi will win.After January 26 episode, aandolan suffered a setback, however it took simply two days to other people to grasp the chronology and once more began transferring in opposition to Delhi borders, let this motion proceed. Allow us to be the energy at all of the borders be it Singhu, Tikri, Palwal, Shahjahanpur or even Ghazipur.I bow sooner than all of you for being the primary drive in the back of this motion.all of us began it, later Haryana joined it. It used to be adopted by way of UP, Uttrakhand, Rajasthan and now the entire nation and our PM nonetheless says.this can be a morcha handiest of Punjab.”

He additional mentioned, “Within the 11 conferences with union ministers we have been requested as what’s flawed in those rules.we mentioned every clause now not as soon as however again and again and advised them the errors, which they mentioned they’ll amend.

And it’s in point of fact sudden that now Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar used to be pronouncing in Parliament that shall we now not inform them even one flaw.”

I advised them.why now not do away with all of the sins in a single cross? They were given uncomfortable.”

Concentrated on the PM, he mentioned, “In Rajya Sabha, PM actually abused us in a diplomatic way when he known as as aandolanjeevi and parjeevi that means we survive aandolans and we’re parasites.

On the other hand, I will have to say that the aandolan has made our early life so assured and so they themselves have wiped away the slur of being known as ‘addicts’. Lets now not see even a unmarried teen at Delhi borders who used to be an addict. They might be observed doing langar sewa, making more than one rounds on tractors to deliver other people from villages, keeping up self-discipline and doing such a lot of tasks.Identical peace must be maintained even now.josh de naal hosh rehna bhot zaruri hai.., it’s time for all people to proceed amassing other people at Delhi borders to turn our energy to the PM .We aren’t going to come back again.until the time rules aren’t taken again.this is crystal transparent.”

Ugrahan mentioned that the federal government used to be looking to “impose a globally failed type” of agricultural device on farmers. Over 80 in line with cent of farmers, particularly small cultivators, will lose their landholdings to corporates as a result of the rules, he claimed. “We will be able to now not permit those rules to be applied,” he mentioned.

Rajewal, whilst concluding the ‘Mahapanchayat’, mentioned, “BJP desires to divide us at the foundation of faith.govt has just one schedule.to talk lies over and over in an effort to make other people consider that it’s reality. On the other hand, we’re able for a protracted haul.we’ve got given this message to govt now not as soon as however again and again.”
