We’re here for decisive battle, won’t move till demands are met: Farmers

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Farmers protesting against the Centre’s new agri laws at Delhi border points on Monday said they have come to the national capital for a ‘decisive battle’ and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to listen to their ‘mann ki baat’. Addressing a press conference at Singhu border, a representative of protesting farmers said that they will continue their agitation until their demands are met.

“Our demands are non-negotiable,” Jagmohan Singh, general secretary Bhartiya Kisan Union (Dakaunda), said and claimed the ruling party ‘will have to pay a heavy price’ if it does not heed to their concerns. “We have come here to fight a decisive battle,” Singh said. “We will remain at Delhi borders and make our strategy from here. We have come to Delhi to ask the prime minister to listen to ‘mann ki baat’ of farmers, else the government and the ruling party will have to pay a heavy price…,” he said.

Former Aam Aadmi Party leader Yogendra Yadav, who is also a member of Akhil Bhartiya Sangharsh Samanvay Samiti’s national working group, alleged that five lies are being spread about the farmers’ agitation including that only farmers from Punjab were protesting.
