Kurukshetra (Haryana): A large gathering of farmers, known as a maha panchayat, has been organized in Pipli, Kurukshetra. Many farmers from different states across the country are expected to attend the event, along with a significant number of women.
Discussions at the gathering will focus on various demands, including the demand for Minimum Support Price (MSP) and the opening of Delhi borders. Amarjit Singh Mohri, the head of BKU Shaheed Bhagat Singh, stated that the farmers do not require any permission to hold the maha panchayat in the market, as it belongs to them.
He also mentioned that the farmers are prepared to proceed with the gathering, even if the administration attempts to intervene. Mohri highlighted that despite strict efforts by the administration to deter the farmers during a previous maha panchayat in Jind, a large number of farmers still participated in the event.
Deputy Commissioner has also stated that no farmer should take the law into his own hands. Farmer leader Sanjeev Alampur mentioned that at this Mahapanchayat, Amarjit Singh, Lakhwinder Singh, Swarn Singh Pandher, Jagjit Singh Dallewal, Balwant Singh, Abhimanyu Kohar, Jai Singh, Ranjit Singh, and other farmer leaders will also be speaking. He added that the Mahapanchayat will address various issues, including opening the borders of Delhi and ensuring MSP for farmers.
