Is farmer's protest affected by politics?

  • 3 years ago
Under the aegis of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), a massive 'Kisan Mahapanchayat' in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar kicked off on Sunday where the farmers' body launched 'Mission Uttar Pradesh-Uttarakhand' to give a boost to their protest against Centre's farm laws. Important announcements related to the Kisan morcha's Bharat bandh call were also made at Sunday's Mahapanchayat. Thousands of farmers from 15 states gathered at the Government Inter College (GIC) ground in Muzaffarnagar to participate in the mahapanchayat aimed at "saving the country", just months ahead of the crucial UP assembly polls. From Lucknow to Delhi, the government has made it clear that it is ready to talk to the farmers but without any conditions. At the same time, the agitating farmers say that first accept our condition and then there will be talk. Now in such a situation, the biggest question is whether the issues about which even the farmers are associated has been dragged into the politics? Watch this video.
