Opposition to agricultural law: one more farmer killed, one attempted suicide

New delhi date. Monday, December 21, 2020

The ongoing farmers' agitation in Delhi is becoming more violent. A large convoy of 3,000 farmers has left Nashik for Delhi, with more than 7,000 farmers from other states arriving in Delhi on Tuesday.

In Delhi, on the other hand, farmers sitting on a picket have fasted for 24 hours. A farmer tried to commit suicide on the Indus border with a demand to repeal agricultural laws while a farmer was killed in Uttar Pradesh. Niraj Singh, a resident of Taran Taran area, has been admitted to a hospital in Rohtak after attempting suicide.

In Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, a large number of farmers went on a one-day fast for the second time. Farmer leaders, on the other hand, have said they are ready to discuss every issue with the government.

"The government has written to us in which there is nothing new. The government wants to continue negotiations with us as before," said Rakesh Tikait, leader of the Indian Farmers' Front. Meanwhile, the Kerala government has called a special session on December 23 to pass a resolution against the Centre's agricultural laws.

The temperature in Delhi is going down and it is getting colder with the farmers changing their strategy and at night the youths are sitting on the picket while during the day the work is being handled by the elders and the elderly farmers together with the youths.

On the other hand, a large number of tents have also been set up on a large space here. The farmers are in the mood for a long battle and full preparations are currently underway on the Delhi Indus and other borders.

Bajrang Dal-BJP on the issue of provocative post

Facebook blocked the Facebook-Insta page of the agitating farmers

The controversy erupted when Facebook blocked the Facebook-Instagram page of the agitating farmers. Farmers allege that social media company Facebook is suppressing our voices to keep up with the government.

The agitating farmers have a Facebook page called 'Kisan Ekta Morcha'. An account with the same name is also active on Instagram. Social media company Facebook blocked the Kisan Ekta Morcha Facebook page. Insta's account was also blocked.

The farmers accused Facebook of discrimination. Facebook is working closely with the central government to increase business in the country. Facebook, which has taken a softer stance against Bajrang Dal and BJP over the provocative post issue, had activated the farmers' page after allegations that it was acting at the behest of the government by suppressing the voices of agitating farmers.
