Which leader said what on this demonstration?
Tikait said – When I raised my voice on MSP, I got lathis
Rakesh Tikait said in the rally – “The farmers raised their voice on the MSP and they got sticks. The question is not about MSP on just one crop. The government declares the rate but does not buy on it. There should be MSP guarantee law. There will be agitations for this law in the coming times. There is a gun guarding the pen and camera in the country.
Chadhuni’s mistake was only that he asked for MSP. Haryana government should release the farmers soon. No one can suppress the farmer s’ movement with sticks. If a farmer is hit with a stick, the farmers of the whole country will gather.
