The group of 101 farmers were stopped from entering Delhi by the police on Saturday. They were marching from the Shambhu border point of Haryana. Farmers requested to not suppress their voices. They said that “Don’t suppress our voices.”
Farmers asked the forces to let them protest in a peaceful way. The farmer leader mentioned that, “SP Sahab, we want to march to Delhi peacefully, we request you to not block our protest, please give us the road. We should be allowed to move ahead. Our voice should not be suppressed by these iron and stone barriers.”
“50 per cent of the people in our country are involved in agriculture, their voices cannot be suppressed. Our farmer Jagjit Singh Dallewal, the convener of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), has been on a fast-unto-death at the Khanouri border. His deteriorating health is in front of everyone, even the Prime Minister,” said the farmers’ leader.
“You can check us for everything, we only have flags and clothes to wear. We only want to talk to the government about our issues,” said the farmers’ leader.
Ambala SP reacted to the appeal made by them and said that, “If you want to go to Delhi, you should take proper permission and once you get the permission, we will allow you to go. There was a hearing in the Supreme Court yesterday. Instructions have been given to hold a meeting.The next date of the meeting is December 18. We appeal to you to sit here peacefully and follow the rules.”
Earlier in the day, Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said that the protest against contentious agricultural laws has reached its 307th day today awaiting talks with the Centre and emphasized nationwide support for the movement from the people of the country.
In a pointed critique of the government’s approach to the farmers’ protest, Pandher accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan of remaining silent on the issue.
The leader also alleged that government agencies are working to undermine the protest, using tactics to discredit the movement and suggesting that even collective efforts from Punjab and Haryana would fail to make an impact.
He further mentioned “I urge everyone to support the protest because I believe no matter how powerful the government is, it can never be bigger than the people of the country. The country is not determined by any party but by the people of the country. We aim to demonstrate how a collective effort by ordinary citizens can be influential enough to bring about changes in laws and governance.”
The Haryana Government had made an order regarding the temporary suspension of mobile internet, SMS, and dongle services in the Ambala from December 14-17. This step is taken by them to prevent spread of misinformation and potential law-and-order disruptions following the “Delhi Kooch” call by farmers’ organizations amid the ongoing protests.
Effective from December 14, 6:00 AM, until December 17, 11:59 PM, the restrictions apply to specific villages, including Dangdehri, Lohgarh, and Saddopur. Essential services like individual SMS, banking communications, voice calls, and broadband remain unaffected to minimize public inconvenience while ensuring peace and order.
The farmers’ agitation has witnessed widespread participation from states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh. The protest sites near Delhi’s borders have become epicenters of resistance, with thousands of farmers camped in makeshift arrangements despite harsh weather conditions.
Through their protest, the farmers are intensifying the demonstration to put pressure on the government. This is done by them to put their demands in front of the government.
