Hardening their stance on the three new agriculture laws, farmer leaders Tuesday said they will make government repeal these legislations and asserted their fight has reached a state where they are determined to win it no matte what. They said they will completely block the Chilla Border between Delhi and Noida on Wednesday to press for their demands.
Addressing a press conference at Singhu Border in New Delhi, farmer leader Jagjeet Dallewal said, “The government is saying ‘we won’t repeal these laws’, we are saying we will make you do it.”
“The fight has reached a stage where we are determined to win no matter what,” he added.
He also said, “We are not running away from negotiation, but the government has to pay heed to our demands and come forward with concrete proposals.”
Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that farmers gathered near Delhi are being misled as part of a conspiracy.
Homage Day on December 20
Several other farmer leaders also addressed the press conference, and called upon people to pay tributes on December 20 to those farmers who have lost their lives during the ongoing protests. One of the leaders Rishipal said that one farmer has died every day on an average since the protest started in the last week of November.
A Homage day (Shraddhanjali Diwas) for all the farmers who lost their lives and became martyrs in the ongoing protest will be organized across the country in villages and tehsil headquarters on 20th December from 11 AM to 1 PM,” said another farmer leader.
