Jalandhar: Amidst a thick blanket of fog, bone chilling cold and zero visibility, people wake up hearing a common announcement in gurdwaras these days:
âJede bhi veer January 26
de âTractor Marchâ
te jana chaunde ne, oh kirpa karke sade nal sampark karan. Saade bujurg kisan pichle lambe samay to dharne te baithe ne, ayo ral k es itihasik din vich apna yogdan payiye. (All those brothers, who want to take part in the tractor march should contact the gurdwara management. Our elderly farmers have been sitting on protests for the past so many days, letâs join hands to contribute in this historic day.)”

“We (farmer unions) have united for a cause and the cause is much bigger than any union or leader. It is the cause of saving the agrarian sector, by stopping the government from giving our economic rights to corporates,” says Jagmohan Singh Patiala, general secretary, Bhartyia Kisan Union (Dakaunda).
Leaders of each of these 32 unions, whether big or small, set aside personal biases and egos to come together as a team every day. Each day, they meet in the afternoon and each and every aspect of the ongoing stir the current stage, the formal and “informal” proposals by the Centre and the further course of agitation is discussed threadbare. These issues are then discussed with the BKU Charuni leadership and later in the meetings of Sanjha Kisan Morcha.

Seated inside a cowshed in Tikri, the epicentre of farmers’ protest against the central agri laws, Joginder Singh Ugrahan points towards a pile of green-yellow flex boards lying at a corner as he rebuts the allegations labelling him an “anti-national”.
The flex boards carry the pictures of poets, writers and scholars jailed for alleged Maoist links. “We don’t have any Maoist link. Our fight is against the black central legislations. If raising voice for the farmers is anti-national, I won’t mind being called one,” says the 75-year-old soldier-turned-farmer and the president of BKU (Ugrahan), Punjab’s biggest farmer union.
