The Prime Minister had said that farmers can sell their crops anywhere.
The farmers whose crop is not being sold, first that crop will be sold in tractor near Parliament House. Tikait said that we never blocked the way. Nor is it our job. Our fight was never one of the way. Our fight is about three agricultural laws.
This border was being closed for 11 months due to the demonstration of the farmers.
Farmers are on dharna since 26 November 2020
On 26 November 2020, when the farmers of UP were going to Delhi against three agricultural laws, the Delhi Police stopped them by putting up barricades on the Ghazipur border. At the same time, the farmers sat on the dharna by putting up tents and tents on the border. Like Ghazipur, farmers have been sitting on dharna for the last 11 months at Singhu, Tikri and Shahjahanpur borders.
Removal of stones and barbed wire is going on on a war footing.
Delhi Police in action due to Supreme Court’s remarks
Recently, the hearing on the petition to block the way was held in the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court had made a scathing remark that farmers can protest, but cannot block the way. After this, the farmers on the Ghazipur border had tried to show that the roads were blocked by the police, not by us by removing the curtain of a big tent. It is believed that after the strict stand of the Supreme Court, Delhi Police is removing the barricading.
