Farmer leader Pandher said that we want to talk to the Agriculture Minister. The movement has been postponed for talks with the Centre. We will leave for Delhi on 8th December. We will oppose BJP in Punjab. He said that now the farmers’ procession will leave for Delhi the day after tomorrow. This time has been given so that the central government can talk to us. Today we were asked what we want and who should be included in the conversation. We have said that the Agriculture Minister should talk.
The farmer leader further said that due to police action, eight farmers are in the hospital today. The total number of injured in today’s police action is around 15. We have maintained discipline. We knew that it was not possible for us to move forward by breaking the arrangements made by Haryana, but we wanted to tell people that even if we wanted to go to Delhi on foot, we were not allowed to go.
