Actually, farmers are hurt by a statement given by Ajay Mishra Teni a week ago. Farmers say that after becoming a minister, Ajay Mishra had said that if we have come on our own, what can we do? Everyone knows this. Ajay Mishra made this statement after showing black flags on behalf of the farmers.
The farmers who came to protest were also angry with the previous statement of Ajay Mishra.
Ajay Mishra had said – improve or else you will improve
In fact, on September 26, farmers had shown black flags to Union Minister of State Ajay Mishra in the Sampoornanagar area of Lakhimpur. Mishra was going to address a public meeting. Referring to his own protest in the public meeting, he threatened the farmers from the stage. It was said that the leaders of the farmers i.e. the people of United Kisan Morcha are not able to face Prime Minister Modi. It’s been 10 months since the movement.
To those showing black flags, he further said that if we had got down from the car, they would not have got a way to escape. Only 10-15 people are making noise about the agriculture law. If the law is so wrong then by now the movement should spread all over the country. He had said in a threatening tone that get better, otherwise face it, otherwise we will correct it, it will take two minutes. Before becoming an MLA-MP, people must have known about me that I do not run away from the challenge.
The makeshift helipad was occupied by thousands of farmers.
