Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait turns teacher at Tikri border
Even as the toolkit controversy overshadows farmers agitation against the three new farm laws, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait continues to protest on Ghazipur border on the outskirts of Delhi. The Bharatiya Kisan Union leader turned teacher on Monday and attended a makeshift school at the protest site. Tikait, who has been camping at Ghazipur for past two and a half months, not only taught the children alphabets and numbers but also took stock of what they had learnt in the month-and-a-half that the school has been operating, said BKU s media in-charge, Dharmendra Malik, at a press conference.

PM Modi urged farmers to give farm laws a chance.
Speaking in Rajya Sabha on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi slammed the mushrooming of a new breed of professional protestors . PM Modi used the Hindi word andolan-jivi to describe a group of people who tend to hijack every protest or movement that has taken place in the country in the recent past. We are well aware of some terms like shram-jivi and buddhi-jivi . But, I am seeing that from some time a new entity has come up in this country- andolan-jivi . This community can be spotted wherever there is a protest, be it agitation by lawyers, students, or labourers, sometimes at the forefront and sometimes from behind. These parasites feast on every agitation, he said.Â

New Delhi: Intensifying the agitation against the three farm laws, the farmer groups have warned of going on a chakka jam on Saturday. The three-hour chakka jam will take place between 12 pm - 3 pm across the country.
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait said that no roads will be blocked in Delhi, Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh. He, however, added that farmers in these states have been kept on standby and will be called to the national capital for protests.

NEW DELHI: Farm leaders on Sunday continued their agitation against the three new farm laws asserting that their movement has been a victim of a conspiracy. Farm leaders Rakesh Tikait and his brother Naresh Tikait are now leading the front from Ghazipur border which seems to have become the epicentre of the protests post-Republic Day violence.
On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his monthly Mann Ki Baat radio broadcast referred to the Red Fort incident, saying the country was much pained at seeing the dishonour to the tricolour on Republic Day.
