NEW DELHI — Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) spokesperson Rakesh Tikait on Friday said that the ongoing farmers’ protest don’t have any fixed duration yet and will go on for indefinite period.
Talking to ANI Tikait said, “Farmers’ protest will go on for indefinite period as there is no plan currently. It might continue till October.”
Earlier, Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Gurnam Singh Charni in a statement had said that the farmers’ protest will continue till October.
Tikait also mentioned that the farmers do a protest every year on October 2 at the Ghazipur border.
Tikait had earlier also warned the farmers’ agitation will not conclude unless government repeals the three newly enacted agriculture laws and it may go on till October.
He reportedly emphasised said that there must be a genuine reason that the country’s farmers are protesting for so long.
“The entire nation’s farmers are on streets protesting, there must be a reason to it. If the farm laws are not accepted by the farmers, then what is the compulsion of not repealing them?” Tikait asked, reports ANI.
When asked about debates in the Parliament on the farmers’ issues, Tikait said it is good that the issue is being raised and debated in the Parliament.
Tikit also appreciated Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s remark of ‘Hum do hamare do’ as he believed that it truly seemed like only four people are running the country.
Farmers from different states have been protesting on the different borders of the national capital since November 26 against the three newly enacted farm laws.
