  • Farmers’ Nationwide Tractor March Today: Traffic Advisory Issued For Commuters In Delhi, Noida |

    The Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) and Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) have called for a nationwide tractor march on Monday. The rally is scheduled to cross the Yamuna Expressway starting from Mehndipur in Rubupura to Faleda Cut. Following this, the police have enforced restrictive orders under Section 144. Also,  a traffic advisory for commuters has been released, warning them of the disruptions and diversions along the Delhi-Noida border region. Meanwhile, in the latest set of accusations, Gurmanmeet Singh Mangat, the secretary-general of the Progressive Farmers Front, claimed on Sunday that a farmer, previously apprehended at the protest site, had been subjected to severe physical abuse by Haryana Police officers.  

    Grave Allegation By Farmers  

    Addressing the media on Sunday, Mangat said, “Our delegation, this morning, visited our fellow farmer brother Preetpal Singh. He was admitted to PJI Rohtak and is still receiving treatment there.”  

    He also accused the Haryana Police of denying him better treatment after his admission into the hospital in Rohtak, as the hospital had referred him to PGI Chandigarh. However, he said that after the efforts of the legal team, the Punjab Haryana High Court had ordered him to be admitted to PGI Chandigarh. “We learnt from his family members that 14 to 16 police personnel assaulted him (in custody)…they tied a rope around his neck and dragged him around. He had marks on his neck,” the farmer leader alleged, adding that Preetpal had suffered multiple injuries during custody. Mangat said that even for war criminals, such treatments are unacceptable.  

    Tractor March Route And Traffic Advisory  

    The tractors participating in the march will cover the Luharli Toll Plaza and Mahamaya Flyover. To ease the expected traffic along these roads, commuters passing through Chilla border to Delhi have been advised to take Sector 14A flyover via Golchakkar Chowk Sector-15, and vehicles from the DND border can use the elevated route via the Film City flyover in Sector 18, while those coming from Kalindi Kunj border may use Mahamaya flyover via Sector 37. Others crossing the Yamuna Expressway are advised to opt for the metro or alternative paths.  

    Yesterday, the Delhi police slightly eased the traffic curbs by partially removing barricades along the Singhu and Tikri borders as the farmers’ protest was on hold.  

    Two Weeks Of Farmers’ Protest  

    Farmers have gathered and set up camps at various points along the borders of the national capital since February 13, accompanied by their tractors, mini-vans, and pickup trucks. Their demands include, among others, the enactment of a law ensuring the Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the withdrawal of police cases against farmers involved in previous protests.  

    In the latest round of discussions, which concluded well past midnight on February 18, a trio of Union ministers proposed the procurement of five crops—moong dal, urad dal, tur dal, maize, and cotton—at MSP for a duration of five years through central agencies. Despite the offer, the protesting farmers rejected the proposal and returned to their protest sites. 

  • ‘Modi Government A Curse…’: Kharge Holds Centre Responsible For Farmer Deaths |

    Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Saturday slammed the Prime Minister Narendra Modi led NDA government over the ongoing farmer’s protest near the border of the National Capital. He accused the government of mishandling the protest situation, resulting in causalities and damage to the lives of the farmers. Expressing dissent on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Kharge wrote, “Modi government is a curse for the farmers of the country.”

    He highlighted the BJP’s strategies as false claims and fake promises, terming them “false Modi guarantees.” Kharge emphasised that the centre’s wrongdoings have claimed 750 lives during the past. “First 750 farmers lost their lives, and now yesterday 1 farmer was martyred,” he added.  

     

    देश के अन्नदाता किसानों के लिए मोदी सरकार अभि़शाप है।

    लगातार झूठी ‘मोदी की गारंटी’ के चलते ही पहले 750 किसानों की जान गई और अब कल 1 किसान ने शहादत दी और 3 रबर बुलेट से अपनी आँखों की रोशनी खो बैठे हैं।

    The ‘Delhi Chalo’ march, initiated by farmers primarily from Haryana, Punjab, and Uttar Pradesh on February 13th, aimed to exert pressure on the Centre to address their demands. Since the march’s inception, numerous reports have surfaced, alleging police atrocities against the farmers.

    Kharge’s recent tweet added fuel to the fire, asserting that rubber bullets used by the police had resulted in three farmers losing their eyesight. He accused the Modi government of treating farmers as enemies, proclaiming, “Only Congress will secure them the legal right of MSP!”  

    Kharge’s remarks are strategically timed, coinciding with the approaching Lok Sabha election, where the Congress party is actively vying for public attention. His declaration reflects the party’s commitment to championing the cause of farmers, particularly by advocating for the legal recognition of the Minimum Support Price (MSP).   

    Meanwhile, the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU), led by Rakesh Tikait, today held a Mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh. The congregation is claimed to be an effort to garner support from the farmers of neighbouring states.   

    The protest by farmers continued for the fifth day, as thousands of farmers reached Delhi on February 13th for the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march to seek a guaranteed minimum support price (MSP) for the implementation of the Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations, pensions for farmers and farm labourers, and “justice” for the victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence, among other demands.

We will discuss whatever proposals we get (from the Centre) in our forums and then decide (our next steps),” Pandher said.

    Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee general secretary Pandher said they got a message for talks on Tuesday night. “After that, we decided to hold talks,” he said, adding that they got the approval from other protesting farmers for holding talks if the Centre wants it.

    Tear Gas, Phone Tracking

    However, Pandher criticised the Centre for allegedly firing tear gas shells continuously on the farmers at the Shambhu border, injuring many protesters. Pandher said the Centre tried to “provoke” the farmers, and also accused it of using force on them deliberately.

    The farm leader said he was targeted and his phone was being tracked. Pandher urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to instruct the paramilitary forces, stationed at the Punjab-Haryana borders, to not use tear gas on them.

    He also said that social media accounts of several farmer leaders have been suspended. When asked if there was any meeting on Wednesday, farmer leader Surjit Singh Phool said there was no meeting with any minister.
