Farmers of BKU Tomar going to Delhi placed under house arrest, BKU Tikait calls for market closure on 16th
Farmer Protest: Western Uttar Pradesh is also experiencing the effects of Punjab's and Haryana's farmers' movement. West UP farmers have also backed the initiative. District President Vipin Tomar was placed under house arrest by the police as soon as BKU Tomar declared his intention to march to Delhi.
Punjabi farmers were stopped at the border on their way to Delhi, where they were demanding MSP, loan waivers, etc. To stop the farmers at the border, there was also conflict with the police. Things are tight right now. Bharatiya Kisan Union District President Vipin Tomar had declared his intention to join the farmer's movement.
Officials and workers of the organization had gathered at the residence of Mohalla Maqbara District President of Najibabad on Wednesday to participate in the Delhi Kisan Movement. Najibabad police put farmer leaders under house arrest at their residence.
An official of the Bharatiya Kisan Union Tomar stated that farmers' voices are being muffled after being placed under house arrest. The government doesn't offer any assistance and instead takes advantage of the farmers. The assurances given to the farmers by the government have not been fulfilled.
We, the officials and labourers, shall await Chaudhary Sanjeev Tomar, National President of the Bharatiya Kisan Union Tomar, for his next directive. Present on this occasion were Dharmendra, Pankaj Tyagi, Kapil Tyagi, Pramod Rathi, Senior District Vice President Hemendra Chaudhary, Youth District President Chaudhary Brajveer Singh, Executive District President Sheeshpal Rathi, and Youth District Vice President Akash Rathi.
The district president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union Tikait, Chaudhary Satyaveer Singh Sonu, declared that the government will not be allowed to exploit anyone. The group is in support of the farmers. According to him, the organization's nationwide call for Bharat Bandh was issued on February 16 to protest the government's promises and to address several demands. All traders are being urged by organisations to stop working in the fields and close their markets.
Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan District President Vinod Kumar Bittu declared that harassment of farmers would not be accepted. The farmers should be heard by the government, and their demands should be met. If farmers face harassment, the organisation will support them.
