Meanwhile, farmers have been protesting at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders between Punjab and Haryana since February 13 under the banner of Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha. The agitators tried to march to Delhi thrice, but the security forces stopped them in Haryana itself.
Increasing pressure on the government
Dallewal’s hunger strike and the support of the agitating farmers is increasing the pressure on the government to accept their demands. Farmer leaders are constantly insisting that legal guarantee of MSP is very important to secure the lives of farmers. Dallewal’s struggle and the farmers’ movement are drawing the attention of the government and the public towards their demands.
