Protesting Farmers To Mark "Kisan Mazdoor Azaadi Sangram Diwas" On Independence Day

At the Delhi borders too, including Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur, tri-colour marches and programmes will be held throughout the day.

Farmers protesting against the three contentious agriculture laws will celebrate India's 75th Independence Day as 'Kisan Mazdoor Azaadi Sangram Diwas'. Following a national call by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, farmers across the country will mark the day with "tiranga rallies" at block and tehsil levels. However, the farmers stressed that they will not enter Delhi. "On August 15, Samyukt Kisan Morcha has given a call for all constituents to mark the day as Kisan Mazdoor Azaadi Sangram Diwas, with tiranga marches to be organised on that day," said Kavitha Kuruganti of AIKSCC (All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee). "On that day, tractors, motorcycles, cycles, and carts will be taken out in tiranga marches by farmers and workers to block, tehsil, district headquarters or to their nearest kisan morchas or dharnas. These marches will be taken out with the national flag on the vehicles," he added.
