Kisan Mahapanchayat: Farmers remain neutral towards political parties

Jind (Haryana): In the Kisan Mahapanchayat held at Uchana in Haryana’s Jind district on Sunday, it was decided not to support or oppose any party in the elections, a farmer leader said.

A large number of farmers from Haryana, Punjab and other states attended the Mahapanchayat held under the aegis of the Bharatiya Kisan Naujawan Union. Farmer leaders like Jagjit Singh Dallewal, Shravan Singh Pandher, and Abhimanyu Kohad participated in it.

Farmer leader Dallewal mentioned that the farmers’ movement’s focus is on strengthening their cause rather than engaging in electoral politics. The next Mahapanchayat is scheduled for September 22 in Pipli, Kurukshetra, with the aim of raising awareness about farmers’ demands nationwide.

Expressing discontent with the government’s actions to deter farmers from attending the Mahapanchayat, Dallewal criticized the authorities for using tactics like setting up barriers and restricting food supplies. Additionally, leader Abhimanyu Kohad highlighted the injustices faced by farmers and laborers over the past decade without endorsing any specific political party.
