Repeal farm laws by Nov 26 or farmers will intensify protest: Tikait

Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Monday said the Centre has time till November 26 to repeal the contentious farm laws, after which farmer protests around Delhi would be intensified.

November 26 would mark one year of the ongoing farmers’ protests at Delhi’s border points of Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur.

Hundreds of farmers are encamped at the three Delhi borders since November 2020 demanding that three controversial farm laws be repealed and a new law guaranteeing MSP be brought in. 

The Centre, which has held 11 rounds of formal dialogues with the farmers, has maintained that the new laws are pro-farmer, while protestors claim they would be left at the mercy of corporations because of the legislations.
