JAIPUR: Hundreds of farmers participated in the tractor parade organised at the district headquarters on Friday on the call of RLP in support of the ongoing farmer movement in the country.
By parading hundreds of tractors on the streets of Jaipur, the RLP demanded the return of farmer bills as well as a memorandum to the district officials.
RLP convener and Nagaur MP Hanuman Beniwal said that his party is standing in support of the movement of farmers democratically and peacefully. He said the country’s food producers are agitated against the anti-farmer bill and over 100 farmers have sacrificed their life in the agitation.
He said in such a situation, the Centre needs to leave its prestige aside and take back the agricultural bills.
He said the tractor rally was organised to send out a message to the Prime Minister who is not yet ready to listen to the demands of the farmers. He said the party will not compromise on its demand for withdrawal of the three farm bills and total implementation of the Swaminathan Committee recommendations.
He said the RLP supports the ‘chaka jam’ call by the farmer leaders on Saturday. He strongly condemned the police action of preventing the MPs who went to the border to meet the farmer leaders.
