“We don’t intend to disrupt Republic Day celebrations”
Darshan Pal, president of the Krantikari Kisan Union, said on Friday that the display of unity among the farmers’ outfits and support from several sections of the society have been the driving force behind the ongoing protests against the new farm laws.
He asserted that they would only intensify further if the Centre did not repeal the laws.
He said the aim of the proposed “tractor parade’’ by farmers’ outfits on January 26 was not to disrupt the Republic Day celebrations. “Our target is not the India Gate, Rajpath, Lal Quila or Parliament. All we are asking is for a route in Delhi where farmers can parade on their tractors and vehicles on Republic Day,” he said.
