Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) convener Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been observing an indefinite fast at the Khanauri protest site since November 26, on Saturday warned the Centre and the state government not to commit the mistake of removing him from the morcha site or admit him to a hospital.
Addressing farmers lying on a bed in front of the stage at Khanauri protest site, Dallewal said the farmers would not tolerate any such action. If any farmer suffered injuries during any such action, the entire responsibility would be that of the Modi government, he added.
Dallewal said the Supreme Court had ordered medical aid for him, but the government should not think that it had been allowed to remove him from the morcha site.
He thanked the apex court for worrying about his life. He urged the Supreme Court to put pressure on the Centre to ensure that farmers don’t die by suicide. The only way to achieve that was to enact an MSP guarantee law, besides fixing MSP by implementing a price fixation formula as per the recommendations of the Swaminathan Commission’s report. The entire debt of farmers should also be waived in one go, he added.
State general secretary of the BKU (Sidhupur) Kaka Singh Kotra appealed to the people to send a tractor-trailer loaded with rations to the Khanauri protest site from every village in the state. At least 15 persons should also be sent to the morcha site from every village. By doing so, they would be able to save their land, otherwise Ambanis and Adanis would capture their land, he added.
