Will take over toll plazas, bang utensils during ‘Mann ki Baat’: Farmers

New Delhi, Dec 20 : After observing “Shradhanjali Divas” on Sunday to pay homage to those farmers who lost their lives in the agitation, the farmers warned the government that they will make all the toll plazas free in Haryana between December 25-227 and will undertake a relay hunger strike.
They also decided to boycott any NDA constituent which doesn’t back the farmers’ stir.
Addressing a joint press conference at the Singhu Border as their protests against the three new farm laws entered the 25th day, the farmers unions said: “On December 27, PM (Narendra) Modi will speak in ‘Mann ki Baat’ but we want to appeal to all of you to clang utensils till the time the PM is speaking.” Farmers leader Jasbir Singh Bhatti said: “The government is trying to defame the farmers. The farmers are protesting in these cold nights… the government should think about us but they are busy defaming us.
“I will appeal to the Agriculture Minister and the government to drop their ego. I will appeal to youth and children to be calm,” he said.
Darshan Pal Singh of Krantikari Kisan Union said: “We condemn the witch hunt by the government against the farmers and demand it be stopped.”
