Farmers have been camping at Shambhu border for the last several months, they are protesting for some of their demands. Meanwhile, once again farmers are going to march to Delhi today (Saturday). Internet service of Shambhu border and 12 villages around it has been shut down before the farmers’ march to Delhi.
Farmer leaders said that today a group of 101 farmers will leave for Delhi at 12 noon. Farmers have tried to march to Delhi twice before this, but both times the Haryana Police stopped them from moving forward.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Padher said that it has been 306 days since the movement started and 18 days since Jagjit Singh Dallewal’s hunger strike. Jagjit Singh Dallewal’s health is continuously deteriorating.
Government preparing to impose digital emergency – Padher
On the internet shutdown in Shambhu border and its surrounding areas, Padher said that the government is preparing to impose digital emergency on us. Action is being taken on our social media pages. Attempts are being made to suppress our voice.
He said that our group which moves towards Delhi, is attacked every time by the Haryana Police. Farmers are attacked, the government is getting exposed by this. Our message is reaching every village of the country. This is why the shaken government is taking such steps against us.
The Supreme Court said the right thing – Padher
Farmer leader Padher said that the Supreme Court has said a good thing that the government should talk to us directly. Do not use force on farmers. We will discuss the comments of the Supreme Court on both forums and give a statement, but it remains to be seen what the government does on these comments.
The Supreme Court has refused to ban the farmers
Yesterday, a hearing was held in the Supreme Court regarding the farmers’ movement. In which a demand was made to end the farmers’ movement. On which the court said that we are not going to give any such order which affects the farmers’ movement. They are protesting peacefully.
