Upping the ante in the farmers’ protests against GOI, Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait once again reiterated that the Centre’s farm laws “will finish the public distribution system.” Tikait added that the farmers would not rest till the demands of repealing of the farm-laws are not met.

In a parallel development, calling Haryana agriculture minister JP Dalal’s statement about farmers who died during the ongoing protest against three farm laws as ‘inhuman’, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM)  warned the ruling BJP government that people would teach ‘a suitable lesson for such arrogance‘.

Holding the Centre’s “stubborn attitude” responsible for the deadlock over the new farm-laws, Sanyukt Kisan Morcha’s coordination panel member Shiv Kumar Sharma said that despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s assurance in Parliament on holding talks with farmers, no date has been conveyed by the government for the next round of talks.
