HARYANA, 3 February, 2021 (TON): In Jind (Haryana) on Wednesday, the Kisan Mahapanchayat in the presence of thousands of farmers adopted a resolution to revoke three contentious farm laws.

BKU leader Rakesh Tikait announced that "if their demands were not accepted, they will hold another 'mahapanchayat' of India level".

Tikait was given a grand welcome at the mahapanchayet, where the boosted agitation of the farmers could be seen.

Tikait was accompanied by state Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) President Gurnam Singh Chaduni.

Kandela 'khap' President Tek Ram, the organizer of the 'mahapanchayat', said besides revoking the farm laws, the resolution demanded that the government ensure that the farmers get MSP (minimum support price) for their crops and withdrawal of cases against farmers booked for violence on Republic Day in Delhi.

Ram said representatives of at least 50 'khaps' or community courts from across the state participated in the 'mahapanchayat', which came days after the other mahapanchayat held in Muzaffarnagar in Uttar Pradesh.

Addressing the gathering, Tikait said, "If the farmers' demands are not accepted by the Centre, they would hold 'mahapanchayat' at the national level."

"When the ruler is afraid, he does fortification," he said, indicating his tough posture to the government.

It is decided to carry out campaigns in the villages of Haryana till 10 February, 2021 in order to gather support and momentum against the agitation.

A day before attending the 'mahapanchayat', Tikait said the farmers protesting against the three Central farm laws will take out a pan-India tractor rally if the government doesn't listen to them.

Previously too, Kandela had been a center of the farmers’ agitation. The farmers had launched an agitation from Kandela in 2002, demanding waiver of electricity dues.

The farmers’ agitation has seen to shift from Punjab Union camping places, Singhu and Tikri to Ghazipur where Tikait is in the hold.
