The unions had a plan to do it from 12 pm -3 pm but however, the police intervened and detained 42 farmers under preventive custody to disperse the protestors. The protest was held in solidarity with the Haryana – Punjab farmers outfits’ nationwide call for the Rail Roko protest. About 300 farmers gathered at the station.
Being a purely religious body, by getting involved into the farmers agitation, which comprises farmers from all religions and castes, the SGPC is going completely against the mandate given to it under The Sikh Gurdwaras Act, 1925 and Punjab Act 8 of 1925 .
On International Women’s Day, women from Punjab reached Tikri on Delhi-Haryana border on to join the ongoing farmers’ protest. A protestor said, “We urge the Central Government to roll back the three black laws.” Farmers have been protesting on the different borders of the national capital since November 26 against the three newly enacted farm laws - Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.International Women’s Day: Women take helm of Farmers protest at Tikri Border
