Jagjit Singh Dallewal says entire country needs MSP, Punjab is not lone fighter

The Hindu  

Fasting Punjab farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal on Saturday asserted that farmers “will win their struggle” for minimum support price in spite of the pressure exerted by the government. Addressing a Kisan Mahapanchayat held at Khanauri on the inter-State boundary of Punjab and Haryana, Mr. Dallewal said farmers from all States must come forward to strengthen the ongoing agitation, and convey the message that the agitation wasn’t that of Punjab alone, but of the entire nation, and they all need minimum support price for their crops. The call for the Kisan Mahapanchayat was given by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, the umbrella bodies spearheading farmers’ agitation in Punjab. Meanwhile, Punjab Agriculture Minister Gurmeet Singh Khudian urged Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan to break the impasse and revive the dialogue between the Union government and agitating farmer unions at the earliest.
