Khanauri: It has been 49 days today that farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal sat on hunger strike at Khanauri border for 13 demands including guarantee of MSP on crops. His doctors have told that now Dallewal’s body has started shrinking, which is a worrying situation.
On the other hand, a meeting is going to be held in Pattada, Patiala regarding this movement. Farmer leaders of Haryana-Punjab’s Shambhu and Khanauri front and leaders of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) will participate in it. SKM’s support for the farmers’ movement will be discussed in the meeting.
If SKM’s support is received, then this movement can become bigger, because there are about 40 groups under SKM. All of them will be a part of this movement. Also, this struggle will go out of Punjab and reach other states as well. SKM was the main leader in the agitation against the 3 agricultural laws in Delhi.
The damage caused to the body will not be compensated
Dallewal, who has been on a fast unto death for 49 days, is in a bad condition. Doctors said that Dallewal’s health is deteriorating. He was already having trouble speaking. Now his body has started shrinking. His body is eating itself. It will not be compensated again. However, a team of government and private doctors is keeping an eye on him.
The Punjab government has deployed a temporary hospital and ambulance near the protest site, so that any kind of unpleasant situation can be dealt with. However, Dallewal is not taking medical facility. The hearing of this case is also going on in the Supreme Court.
Today these programs will be on the front
Now till January 26, groups of farmers from many districts of Haryana will continuously come to Khanauri border. On Sunday, a group of farmers from Hisar reached the border. While today a group of farmers from Sonipat will reach Khanauri border. Along with this, farmers will burn copies of the draft of the agricultural market policy issued by the central government.
Jakhar said – MSP does not benefit the farmers of Punjab
On Sunday, Punjab BJP chief Sunil Jakhar gave a statement regarding the agitation. He said that the legal guarantee of MSP of crops is harmful for the farmers of Punjab. The farmers of Punjab and Haryana are given MSP by the Center on the purchase of wheat and paddy, but with the implementation of MSP at the national level, the farmers will have to lose the benefits they get under the current system.
