Delhi police, farmers' meeting over proposed Parliament march inconclusive
2021-07-19
The “farmers” of this protest are not simple men of the earth, but the rich farming syndicalists who control and profit from them — and can afford to spend a year in hotels and restaurants while protesting. Primarily Sikhs from Punjab, they are connected to the Sikh expat community, and therefore shelter in their midst professional Khalistani Sikh activists who take their money and direction from Pakistan’s ISI, which explains why they triumphally hoisted the Sikh flag atop the Red Fort in replacement of the flag of India. In addition to demanding revocation of the new farm laws that would allow individual farmers to sell their harvest directly, instead of to the syndicate, which then rakes off profits on the markup, they want the government to release all jihadis and Maoists arrested in the past year — much to the excitement of the anti-nationalist Soros/progressive NGOs.
[OneIndia] The Delhi Police on Sunday held a discussion with the agitating farmers sitting at the Singhu border, ahead of their planned protest near Parliament during its monsoon session to demand repeal of three farm laws.

The cops asked farmer unions to reduce the number of people who would gather in front of Parliament to protest against three agri laws from July 22, but it has been declined.

"We informed police that every day 200 farmers will go to Parliament from the Singhu border during the Monsoon session. It will be a peaceful protest and protesters will have identification badges also," Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Mahasangh national president Shiv Kumar Kakka said.

The Monsoon session of Parliament will start on Monday and is scheduled to conclude on August 13.

Every detail about each protester will be given to police, including a demonstrator''s Aadhaar card and mobile phone number, he said.
An interesting choice.
Police have offered an alternative place for the demonstration and have asked unions to reduce the number of protesters. This request of the police has been declined by farmer leaders, Kakka said.

The Delhi Police will give its reply on Monday and the timing of the protest will also be decided, he said.

Farmers have been protesting against the central laws since November last year at Delhi border points of Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur.

The legislations were enacted in September last year.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of over 40 farmer unions spearheading the stir against the central laws, has planned that around 200 farmers will protests outside Parliament every day during the period of the Monsoon session.

A tractor parade in Delhi on January 26, that was to highlight the demands of the farmer unions to repeal the, had dissolved into anarchy on the streets of the national capital as thousands of protesters broke through barriers, fought with the police, overturned vehicles and hoisted a religious flag from the ramparts of the iconic Red Fort.

The SKM had earlier said at a presser that two days before the Monsoon session begins, a "chetavani patra" (warning letter) will be issued to all opposition MPs to protest the farm laws inside the House.

Farmers agitating against the three farm laws claim that the legislations will do away with the Minimum Support Price system, leaving them at the mercy of big corporations.

Over 10 rounds of talks with the government, which has been projecting the laws at major agricultural reforms, have failed to break the deadlock between the two parties.

#2  Oh dear. Wren, I wept as I read of your suffering, wept with salty tears running down my face from the strength of the emotions your words elicit. Chivas Regal?? Not even a peaty single malt to bring your people comfort — truly it is not to be borne!

#1  I was born and raise in Punjab in a poor farmer's family. I never went to school as we had to work on farms. We were so poor that at times we didn’t have grains, vegetables, pulses or anything to feed ourselve ths we used to order pizzas. Despite owning huge lands no one used to buy our crops as there was n MSP. I vividly remember that the elders of my village had to add Chivas Regal to water to make it seem more due scarcity of water.

When my grandad used to come home after a long day at farms and asked for water and food, only to realize there was none. He was so dejected that he drove us in our old Mercedes to Hotel Marriot and we were forced to dine there.

[No. I do not need any sympathy from anyone but please here me out. I have been oppressed all my life and forced to dine in expensive hotels...]

Once, Daar ji flew to Bangkok to get a massage. Poor Daar ji had to survive only on chicken tikka and red wine. And oh the struggle!Even our freedom fighters wouldn't have struggle as much as my entire village; because due to drought we had to drink fruit beer, we could only eat Foie Gras n Duck à l'orange, later we had to till the soil with some tax payers blood so that we can reap grains. Even after living such a painful life, people don't believe that some of these bloody tax payers had blood cancer which in turn ruined our harvests. Bloody tax payers!! And they refuse to call us Annadata.

We are still so poor that we have only automatic oven to warm our food or pizzas this winter. The only ones who have played FARMVILLE can understand the pain of poor farmer families.

I had tears in my eyes while writing this. Only a person with heart of stone won't be moved after reading this story. I'm also eqaully ungrateful to some of the foreigners who have always stood for my movement through their fake Accounts.
