Several BJP-JJP MLAs in Haryana have apologised to farmers for their comments in the recent past, even as the government has stuck to its claim that the protesters have a “secret agenda”.
Farmers Gradually Returning to Protests Against Farm Laws in Haryana
Following a surge in COVID-19 cases, the agitation had been suspended in many areas and no fresh mobilisation was done. That may soon change.

New Delhi: While the number of protesters at various sites in Haryana, including its Tikri and Kundli borders with Delhi, may have dipped due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, farmer leaders across the state insist that the agitation against the three farm laws is on and would be intensified once the pandemic subsides. Moreover, with over six months passing since the protests started, they caution that the protesting farmers have now started getting restless as the Centre and the state government have been ignoring their demands.
