Hindustan Times, New Delhi :
Farmers protesting against the Centre’s three laws have organised a tractor march on Thursday, converging on the eastern and western peripheral expressways that form a ring around Delhi, as the protest enters its 43rd day. The march comes a day before the government and the farmers’ unions are slated to hold their next round of talks. Women in rural Haryana have been receiving training on driving tractors for today’s tractor march, reported news agency PTI.
Union minister Piyush Goyal said on Wednesday that he sees the ongoing dialogue between farmers and the Centre as an opportunity to explain how beneficial the reforms can be for the former. However, the farmers unions camping at three sites near Delhi have insisted on a total repeal of the new farm laws, while the government has said it is ready to discuss changes to the existing laws. Thursday’s tractor march is being touted by the protesters as a ‘trailer’ of a much bigger march that is being planned for Republic Day.
Farmers from Kumaon district of Uttarakhand took out a tractor rally to protests against the new farm laws being implemented by the Centre. A protestor told HT that a dozen farmers from Jaspur have left to join farmers at Delhi, with razai and household goods.
Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) flagged off their tractor tally from Maha Maya Flyover to Chilla border in solidarity with the farmers protesting at three sites in Delhi, reported news agency ANI. Farmers are holding a tractor march today in the capital as both farmers union and Centre gear up to sit for the next round of talks on the three new farm laws.
The Supreme Court on Thursday asked Centre about guidelines that have been put into place to prevent spread of Covid-19 at farmers protest sites. Citing the example of the Tablighi Jamaat gathering at Delhi, the Court asked Solicitor general Tushar Mehta if the Centre has learned anything from the Jamaat experience.
