Will discuss strategies to continue stir: Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait in UP

Hindustan Times  

Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday said the farmers' groups would discuss strategies on continuing the agitation against the three contentious farm laws at the Kisan Mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar. Thousands of farmers and union leaders gather at Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh for the Kisan Mahapanchayat in protest against Centre's controversial farm laws on Sunday. SKM leaders said Sunday's gathering in Muzaffarnagar would set the stage for ‘Mission Uttar Pradesh’ to continue discussions on issues concerning the farmers. National convenor of Jan Kisan Andolan Avik Saha called the Kisan Mahapanchayat in Muzaffarnagar a “history in the making” as he tweeted visiuals from the gathering, terming it a “march towards the future.” Farmers from across the country have been seeking the repeal of three controversial agriculture-related laws — Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce Act, 2020; Farmers Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and Essential Commodities Act, 2020 — which they say will do away with minimum support price for their produce and expose them to exploitations by corporates, even as the Centre claim these laws will bring "reforms" in the agriculture sector through private-sector investment and create supply chains for the produce in the national and global markets.
