‘The farmers will continue to come to the border like before,’ says BKU general secretary Yudhvir Singh.
Responding to the , Bharatiya Kisan Union general secretary Yudhvir Singh said the protest would continue at the Ghazipur border with “even more vigour”. “The farmers will continue to come to the border like before.”
Mr. Singh said the move did not seem to be an indication of the Government reaching out to farmers for a peaceful resolution of the protest against the contentious farm laws. “My 40 years of experience in holding protests for farmers’ cause tells me that the Government wants to stretch it [the impasse] further rather than arriving at a decision. ‘Sarkar kheenchna chahti hai, faisla nahin chahti,’” said Mr. Singh.
He said farmers never wanted to create problems for the general public. “It was the Delhi Police that had put these barricades after the January 26 episode. It seems after the SC order, they have removed them.”
