Question of the farmers opposing the farming laws: We will talk to the High Power Committee, but why does no one listen to us; The police administration has closed the way of Delhi, not us.

Barricades put up by Delhi Police at Tikri border in Jhajjar.

For the last one year, another voice has started rising from the farmers’ dharnas running on the threshold of the capital Delhi. On the orders of the Supreme Court, the Haryana government has started efforts to open the roads to Delhi and a high power committee has been formed for this, but the farmers say that it was not them through Delhi, but the government itself – the police administration have been closed. Apart from this, the farmer leaders say that the government is adopting the path of dialogue when the roads are opened, but they do not understand why anyone would listen to us to repeal the agriculture reform laws.

Baldev Singh Pradhan, District Bathinda (BKU Dakonda) and Pargat Singh (General Secretary of BKYU Rajewal), who were leading the dharna along the Tikri border between Bahadurgarh-Delhi, said that no road was blocked by the farmers. The roads are closed by the government and the police. The government should talk to those who have blocked these roads. The farmers are sitting only on the National Highway, but the police have closed all the small roads leading to and from Delhi. Farmers have also met administrative officials many times to get them opened.

He said that the government is forming a committee to talk on closed roads, but is not ready to talk on agricultural laws. Farmers say that the government considers the life of farmers very cheap. Before 26 January, farmers used to give better way to ambulances through Tikri border and themselves used to remove barricades and enter the border of the country’s capital Delhi, but due to the fortification of the police, now there is no way for pedestrians to go here. being given Farmers do not trouble anyone, but want everyone’s respect and solution to their problems. However, on the question of shifting the movement from the borders of Delhi, the farmer leaders say that they will continue the agitation till the three agricultural laws are repealed and will not shift the movement to another place till death.
