Thursday's 'Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat' was perhaps the biggest gathering of farmers in the national capital after their agitation at Delhi's borders ended in 2021.
Thousands of farmers on Thursday participated in the 'Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat' at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan where a resolution was passed to intensify the protest against the Centre's policies regarding the farming sector and to continue the stir during the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.
This was perhaps the biggest gathering of farmers in the national capital after their agitation at Delhi's borders ended in 2021 following the repeal of the three contentious farm laws by the Centre.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmer organisations that spearheaded the 2021 protest, adopted the resolution to "intensify the fight against the policies of the Union government to save farming, food security, land and livelihoods of the people".
