New Delhi, January 31: First Muzaffarnagar, yesterday Mathura, today Baraut (Baghpat) and tomorrow another ‘mahapanchayat’ is expected in Bijnor to mobilise support for farmers’ agitation against the three contentious farm laws in Western Uttar Pradesh.
Farmers’ agitation is gaining ground and strength despite Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s reach-out and open offer to suspend the three laws. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha will also unveil its nationwide programme tomorrow in the wake of the happenings, including arrests, following the January 26 Delhi violence.
At the same time, observers are also sensing “hint of differences” among various groups that are now part of the movement. The presence of political leaders at the Ghazipur protest site is also being frowned upon.
In today’s ‘mahapanchayat’ in Baghpat, where leaders of several khaps supported the Ghazipur agitation, BKU president Naresh Tikait was not present.
Much is also being read in some of his statements in past 24 hours.
