Farmer leaders, protesting the Centre’s three contentious agriculture legal guidelines, have began framing pointers ‘aiming for modesty’ and have made it clear that “the social boycott and agitations against the leaders of BJP and its allies will be in the context of their official programs, including government and political, and not for their personal or private events, like weddings and participation in funeral processions”.
The announcement, which was made quickly after resolving a weeklong standoff between the authorities and agitator farmers in Tohana on Monday, could show a reduction for the BJP-JJP authorities in Haryana, with farmer leaders clearing their intentions that their focus was nonetheless firmly on Delhi.
“All resistance will be completely peaceful, through the use of black flags or slogans, and will not involve any violence or use of force,” the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) declared in an announcement. A significant impasse had emerged after a violent confrontation between the agitators and JJP MLA Devender Babli in Tohana on June 1.
Yogendra Yadav, one of many 9 members of the SKM, on Tuesday, mentioned, “Our real fight is in Delhi, against the Central government. We don’t need to get entangled with small governments time and again. Our opposition against the MLAs, MPs, and other representatives of the BJP and its allies will continue in Haryana and other states. But this opposition will be only for government and political functions, not for private events.”
The determination has come as a reduction for the federal government authorities in Haryana, who had been compelled to stay further vigilant always, because the stiff opposition from farmer alliance leaders had made it tough for them to maneuver out of their houses, even for the personal occasions, prior to now six months. A number of days after the “Delhi Chalo” name of farmers in November 2020, the Haryana farmers had introduced a “social boycott” of BJP-JJP leaders over the difficulty of three contentious farm legal guidelines. During all these months, they staged protests each time they discovered any chief of the BJP-JJP in areas that had the presence of protesters, as there have been no pointers to information the agitators.
This had made it tough for the police to keep up legislation and order always. During one such faceoff, the opposition to Devender Babli in his constituency had led to a significant standoff between the authorities and protesters. As many as three FIRs have been lodged and three farmers have been arrested, which led farmers to swarm exterior Tohana police station for 2 days to demand the discharge of their fellow agitators.
To resolve the impasse, a number of rounds of talks had taken place in Tohana. From the farmers’ aspect, 5 out of 9 SKM members, together with Yogendra Yadav, Rakesh Tikait, Gurnam Singh Chaduni, and Joginder Singh Ugrahan, participated within the talks. the federal government was represented by Fatehabad DC Narhari Singh Bangar and SP Rajesh Kumar, who put ahead the administration’s standpoint.
Welcoming the brand new pointers issued by the SKM, DC Narhari Singh Bangar mentioned, “The farmer organisations have assured the administration that they won’t oppose any private functions of public representatives. Even for (public representatives’) government functions, the farmer bodies have given their consent for peaceful protests, which is admirable.” Another senior officer of the administration mentioned, “During the talks, we also succeeded to convince the farmer leaders that the questioning of public representatives by the agitators over issues may lead to confrontation or violence.”
In truth, the most recent pointers issued by the farmer leaders, goals at holding their deal with their dharnas at Delhi borders, as they need to make it focus of the agitation Recently, Rakesh Tikait had accused the BJP authorities within the Centre of making an attempt to shift the continued farmer agitation from the Delhi borders to Haryana.
