Farmers from different districts in Maharashtra have gathered at Mumbai’s Azad Maidan to protest against the Centre’s farm laws. Speaking to news agency, one of the protesters was quoted as saying that they will give a memorandum to the Maharashtra governor today (25 January 2021). “Our families have also come with us, because if we lose farming, it is as good as the entire family being left out on the street,” he added.
Farmers from across the country are marching towards Delhi to take part in the ‘Kisan Gantantra Parade’ on the occasion of Republic Day. Tractors from Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan have reached Tikri border.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha has asked the farmers to take part in the agitation from 23 to 26 January, including rallies to the residences of state governors.
Farmers have been protesting on the different borders of the national capital since 26 November against the three newly enacted farm laws: the Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020; and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
