Dallewal's Fast Completes 50 Days: Why Hasn't Modi Govt Responded? 3 Reasons

The Quint  

Farm union leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal's hunger strike entered its 50th day on Tuesday, 14 January. Hailing from Punjab's Faridkot district, Dallewal is the convenor of Samyukta Kisan Morcha and has been on hunger strike since 26 November 2024 demanding a legal guarantee to minimum support prices for crops. This is unlike its approach during the 2020-21 farmers' protest during which the Modi government deputed senior ministers to negotiate with the farm union leaders. Curiously, the Punjab BJP unit approached the Akal Takht to urge Dallewal to give up his hunger strike.
