Farmers, who have been on the borders of the national capital Delhi for nine days in India, are now taking an aggressive stance.

Before the fifth round meeting with the Modi government of the Center on 05 December 2020, the farmers have made it clear that now they will not back down from their demands.

Previously, the farmers who were ready to accept the legal rights of the MSP, now they are not ready to accept anything less than the cancellation of the three laws.

Rajinder Singh, state vice president of Kirti Kisan Union, says, "Our only demand is that all the three laws should be repealed." We will not accept anything less than this. The discussion with the government was done. Now it will be bluntly. Until the government withdraws the law, we will stand here.

The farmer unions of Punjab and Haryana had called for the 'Delhi Chalo' movement on 26-27 November 2020.

The government made every effort to stop the convoy of farmers marching from Punjab to Delhi. Barricades were erected on the roads, dug up roads, water showers, but the farmers reached Delhi, crossing every obstacle.

Since then, every day the movement of farmers is becoming stronger. People from Punjab and Haryana are reaching here from house to house. In view of the increasing number of protesters, the leaders of the peasant movement are also changing their strategy.

In a conversation with news agency ANI, a protesting farmer said, "The government is giving dates repeatedly, all the organizations have unanimously decided that today is the last day of talks."

The farmers say that the government will have to withdraw all the three laws and give in writing that they will continue with the MSP.

The Chairman of Kisan Mahapanchayat Rampal Singh has once again reiterated the demands of the farmers and said that the government will have to withdraw all the three laws and give in writing that the MSP will be continued.

Today, on the meeting with the central government on agricultural laws, Kisan United Front chief Rampal Singh said, "Today, we will fight through the cross, there will not be a daily meeting." There will be nothing else in the meeting today, it will only be for repealing the laws. ''

If there is no solution in the meeting, we will encircle Parliament: farmers

The farmers, who are opposing the new agricultural laws of the central government, are still protesting at the Chilli border on the Delhi-Noida link road.

Farmers say that "If no solution is found in the meeting with the government today, we will surround the Parliament".

The farmers are sitting on a dharna near Gautam Buddha Gate on Noida Link Road, due to which traffic has been stopped on that road.

Delhi Traffic Police has advised people coming from Noida to Delhi to use the DND toll road.

On the other hand, Ghazipur border on the national highway connecting Delhi to Uttar Pradesh has also been closed for traffic due to the protests by farmers.

Only two wheelers are being allowed from Jhatikara border between Delhi Haryana. At the same time, the Tikri and Jharoda borders have been closed.

How are the nights of farmers cutting across the border?

Farmers have blocked the Meerut-Delhi highway near Ghazipur border. Farmers have already blocked the route on the Delhi-Haryana border. And now the movement between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh on the highway has also stopped.

Locals on the Delhi-Haryana border are helping the protesting farmers. He offered tea to these farmers at night.

The fourth round of talks between the farmers and the government was held on 03 December 2020, which failed.

Meanwhile, some charitable institutions are also distributing medicines among the farmers. They say that these medicines can be useful to farmers in an emergency.

Demand to withdraw cases against farmers in Haryana

In Haryana, a delegation of Jannayak Janata Party leaders met state Home Minister Anil Vij on 04 December 2020 and requested that the cases registered against the farmers for the protests be withdrawn.
