Farmers Reject Divisive Campaigns
Unity intact
One of the biggest achievements of the ongoing farmers’ agitation is to successfully ride rover all the tried and tested methods to break the unity, and divide the movement. But this time the resolve of the farmers has proven to be the biggest obstacle in the way of such efforts, with the resolve unshaken as evident in the farmers refusal to accept the government’s amendments and insist that the farm laws be repealed.
The attack on the movement started right from the very beginning. The first was the effort by the pliant media to dub the protesting farmers as Pakistani and Khalistani supporters, by giving voice to elements airing this propaganda. The social media was also flooded with the same.Comparisons were made between the Shaheen Bagh agitation against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and National Register of Citizens (NRC) to insist that all came from the ‘anti national’ stock.
