This will send a big message tomorrow…This agitation has a new ideology, a new method. Highways will not be shut. But meetings will continue at our meeting points and we will take decisions there…Monthly panchayat will take place in Sisauli on 17th February…We do have the demand on MSP but a strategy will have to be built on incidents that are taking place in Punjab and Haryana we hope for this. We have told not to gather as a crowd for it…As far as the Bandh is concerned, we have urged people to participate voluntarily…”
