While addressing a 'Kisan Mahapanchayat', Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait asked if leaders like Bhagat Singh will also be classified under the category of 'andolan jivi', as he criticised the remarks made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Parliament. The government should not be under the impression that the protesting farmers will return to their homes without having their demands met, added Tiktait while addressing a well-attended 'Kisan Mahapanchayat' at Gumthala Garhu village in Haryana’s Pehowa. "In Parliament, they are saying these are parjivis (parasites). Was Bhagat Singh who sacrificed his life for this nation a parjivi? What about 150 farmers who died during this agitation? Were they parjivis too? Had they gone to Delhi to agitate and die?", questioned the BKU leader without naming the Prime Minister.
