The state chapter of All India Kisan Sangharsh Co-ordination Committee (AIKSCC), a joint platform of several farmers’ outfits, on Friday decided to intensify it’s ongoing ‘Delhi Chalo’ campaign on November 26 and 27 against three recent farm laws with chalking out strategies to make the protest successful.

At a meeting of the AIKSCC held here, the farmers’ leaders- Yogender Yadav, Satyawan, Prem Singh Gahlawat, Krishna Prasad, Inderjit Singh, Ram Pal Chahal, Sumit Singh, Sat Pal Beniwal, Ram Kumar Bahbalpuria, Pahlad Singh, Rajender Chahal, Jai Karan, Anoop Singh and Yudhvir Ahlawat and others- reviewed the preparations for the protest.

They also strongly condemned the Modi government for not restoring the freight trains to Punjab and described it as anti-national.

“It is tantamount to worst blackmail with the agitating farmers who were suffering from non–availability of the fertilizers when the sowing of Rabi crops was at its peak. We warn the state and Centre to refrain from obstructing the peaceful movement of lakhs of farmers to Delhi on 26 November,” said Inderjit Singh, state vice president, All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS).

Meanwhile, the district unit of the AIKS at a meeting presided over by Subedar Sundar Singh here today chalked out a detailed programme to mobilise the maximum number of tractor trollies to reach at Ch Chhotu Ram memorial in Sampla town here before proceeding in the form of a convoy to Delhi on 26 November.

The AIKS has appealed to all sections of the people for their logistic support to the fighting farmers stating that the three black laws were bound to affect the vital interests of the nation and every citizen is allowed to become operational.
