When asked whether they consider Rakesh Tikait to be their leader, the farmers said in unison, “No, every farmer is our leader.” Additionally, when we reminded them of how some so-called ‘farmers’ had unleashed mayhem and laid siege to the iconic Red Fort on 26 January 2021, the farmers in Odisha asserted that they have always been in favour of peaceful demonstrations. “हमारे पास किसी की फंडिंग नहीं है, उनके पास राजनीतिक फंडिंग थी।” – रामलीला मैदान में ‘किसान गर्जना रैली’ में जुटे किसानों ने स्पष्ट कहा कि कृषि कानूनों के विरोध में दिल्ली की सीमाओं को घेर कर हुए आंदोलन को उनका समर्थन नहीं था। कहा – हम शांतिपूर्ण तरीके से हक माँगने आए हैं। pic.twitter.com/nmGELEzPQP — Anupam K.
