Thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana are marching to the capital to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the border protests. On Thursday, large convoys of vehicles, including tractors, jeeps, and cars, were seen departing Punjab for Singhu, Tikri, and Ghazipur.
Farmers are calling for a law to secure a reasonable Minimum Support Price for their crops, as well as the dismissal of cases filed against them during the year-long agitation. They also want Union Minister Ajay Mishra removed from office as a result of the violence in Lakhimpur Kheri, as well as a memorial for the protestors who died.
On November 26, the Sanyukta Kisan Morcha, which is leading the protest, will convene enormous mahapanchayats in state capitals, with farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Rajasthan taking part.
Farm leaders have stated that once the winter session begins on November 29, up to 500 protesters in tractors will be sent to Parliament every day until the session ends.
