Earlier, Rakesh Tikait had asserted that the protests will continue even after the announcement by the Prime Minister. “The farmers’ protest will not stop immediately, we will wait till the day when agricultural laws are repealed in Parliament. Besides MSP, the Centre should also discuss other issues with the farmers,” he had said on social media.
PM Modi, addressing the nation, had said that by the end of this month, the government would complete the process of repealing the three farm laws. He then appealed to the protesting farmers and middlemen to return to their homes on Gurupurab and stop their protest.
