If farmers are removed from Delhi borders, government offices across the country will be turned into mandis: Tikait

If farmers' tents are broken, police stations, DM's office will set up tents

We will return home only after 'funeral' of controversial agricultural laws, govt insists: farmers warned

New Delhi: Farmers have been agitating for 11 months over three new agricultural laws of the central government. In it, Rakesh Tikait, leader of the Indian Farmers' Union, warned the central government that if it tried to forcibly remove farmers from the border, it would turn government offices across the country into stalls and bring the crops there.

“We have received information that the administration with the help of JCB may try to remove the tents where the farmers are sitting,” Tikait said. If the administration does so, the farmers will go to the police stations, DM offices and pitch their tents there and sit on the picket.

Tikait said a farmer in Lalitpur recently committed suicide. The government is pushing the farmers into the blind well of suicide. If the government does not give up, the conflict will intensify.

Police had recently removed barricades, wire and iron nails from Ghazipur and Tikri border. However, the tents of the farmers were left there. Farmers' organizations, on the other hand, have now said that the government should start a dialogue with us in the same way that the police have removed the barricades in our barricades.

"We have received information that any time the government, with the help of JCB, will dismantle farmers' tents from the Delhi border, if the government really does so, we will set up tents at police stations or the DM's office," Rakesh Tikait said.
