Farmers Allege Conspiracy To Kill 4 Of Them During Tractor Rally

Protesting farmer leaders on Friday alleged that a conspiracy has been hatched to kill four of them and create disturbance during their proposed tractor rally on January 26.

At a late-night press conference at the Singhu Border, the farmer leaders presented a person who claimed that during the tractor rally, his team members were allegedly asked to pose as policemen and baton-charge the crowd.

Farmer leader Kulwant Singh Sandhu alleged that attempts are being made to disrupt the ongoing agitation against the three farm laws.

Meanwhile, talks between farmer leaders and police over the proposed rally in the national capital remained inconclusive on Friday, as both sides stuck to their stand, with the unions saying it was the government’s responsibility to maintain peace.

According to sources, police officers at the meeting requested the farmers’ union leaders to hold their tractor rally outside Delhi, citing security reasons on Republic Day.

Following the meeting, a farmer leader said they will take out their rally on the Outer Ring Road in Delhi and will not settle for anything less than that.

Joint Commissioner of Police (Northern Range) S S Yadav coordinated the meeting along with other senior police officers.

Another round of talks between the police and farmer unions is likely to take place at Singhu Border on Saturday.

After the Central government’s negotiations with protesting farm unions hit a roadblock on Friday, farmer leaders said they will intensify their agitation now and alleged that the government’s approach was not right during the meeting.

They also said their tractor rally will go ahead as per the plans on January 26 and unions have told the police that it is the government’s responsibility to maintain peace.

Coming out of the meeting with the government at Vigyan Bhavan, farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal said, “Tractor march on January 26 will take place as decided by us on Outer Ring Road. We have informed the police. It is for the government to ensure that it should be peaceful.”

Negotiations hit a roadblock on Friday as the farmer leaders stuck to their demands for a complete repeal of three farm laws they find pro-corporate and a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP), even as the Centre asked them to reconsider its proposal for putting the Acts on hold for 12-18 months.

Unlike the last 10 rounds of talks, the 11th round could not even reach a decision on the next date for the meeting, as the government also hardened its position, saying it is ready to meet again once the unions agree to discuss the suspension proposal.

This followed a big climbdown made by the Centre during the last round, when they offered to suspend the laws and form a joint committee to find solutions.

Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at several Delhi border points since November 28, demanding a repeal of three farm laws and a legal guarantee on minimum support price for their crops.

Enacted in September last year, the three laws have been projected by the Centre as major reforms in the agriculture sector that will remove middlemen and allow farmers to sell their products anywhere in the country.

However, the protesting farmers have expressed their apprehension that the new laws would pave the way for eliminating the safety cushion of MSP and do away with the “mandi” (wholesale market) system, leaving them at the mercy of big corporates.
