Farmers' protest: SKM acknowledges global support

Farmers' protest: SKM acknowledges global support

New Delhi, Feb 3 (UNI) Farmers' body Samyukta Kisan Morcha on Wednesday acknowledged the support of international personalities towards the ongoing farmers' agitation.

"On the one hand, it is a matter of pride that eminent personalities of the world are showing sensitivity towards the cause of farmers, while on the other hand, it is unfortunate that the Government of India is not understanding the pain of the farmers and some people are even calling peaceful farmers as terrorists," the farmers body said.

Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg, American pop star Rihanna and porn star Mia Khalifa have extended their support to farmers who have been protesting at the Delhi's borders since November 26, seeking the repeal of three Farm Laws enacted by the Centre last year.

SKM said that the farmer movement is getting stronger day by day. After heavy support in Kisan Mahapanchayats in Uttar Pradesh, farmers have organized Mahapanchayats in Dabra and Phulbagh in Madhya Pradesh, Mehndipur in Rajasthan and Jind in Haryana. A large number of farmers will be coming to Delhi in the coming days.

Farmers from Rajasthan and Punjab are reaching the Shahjahanpur border continuously.

Farmers have again started a dharna at Palwal border. In the coming days, a large number of farmers will reach this site from Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan.
