New Delhi: The United Kisan Morcha on Sunday said that a group of around 200 farmers will protest outside Parliament every day against the three agriculture laws of the Center during the monsoon session. More than 40 farmer organizations under the leadership of United Kisan Morcha have been protesting against the agricultural laws for the past several months.
The SKM told a press conference that two days before the commencement of the session, a ‘warning letter’ would be given to all opposition MPs to oppose the laws inside the House. Farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal said, “We will also ask opposition MPs to raise the issue every day inside the House on July 17, while we will sit outside in protest.” We will ask them not to benefit the Center by walking out of Parliament. Don’t let the session go on till the government resolves this issue.
The monsoon session of Parliament is going to start from July 19. “We will continue to protest outside Parliament till they listen to our demands,” Rajewal said. He said that five people from each farmer organization would be taken to join the protest. The United Kisan Morcha also called for a nationwide protest on July 8 against the rising prices of petrol, diesel and LPG cylinders. The Morcha asked people to come out on state and national highways from 10 am to 12 noon and park their vehicles there.
“Whatever vehicle you have, tractor, trolley, car, scooter, bus, bring it to the nearest state or national highway and park it there,” Rajewal said. But don’t cause traffic jams. The farmer leader also appealed to the people to blow the horn of their vehicles for eight minutes at 12 pm. He also asked to bring LPG cylinders in protest. “I call upon all women to bring their gas cylinders on the streets and be a part of the protest,” the farmer leader said.
