Thousands of farmers in India are braving cold winter temperatures in the outskirts of New Delhi, their tractors and tents blocking traffic along three main roads leading to the capital city, in protest of new agricultural laws that farmers say leave them at the mercy of multinational corporations. The protests, which began in August, morphed into a general strike of 250 million workers on November 26, which has been called the largest-ever global demonstration.

Controversy was due to communication gap. There was nothing wrong with editorial. Some people had objected over Udoke, who had written the editorial. But later we clarified that he was not in our editorial team. He just wrote editorial,” said Ajaypal Natt, another member of ‘Trolley Times’ team and son of a farmer union leader Sukhdarshan Natt.
Sukhpreet Udoke said, “No one could explain to me what was wrong with editorial. My opposition was only due to one reason that I am seen as Sikh writer and activist. Farmer unions are mostly Left and they are not able to tolerate diversity in this agitation. They are in fix as decision making is no more in their hands due to massive size of this agitation and it is the reason that they are searching for scapegoats.”

The hunger strike began at 8 am and ended at 5 pm even as talks with the government remained inconclusive. The unions claimed that more people expected to join the ongoing agitation, which entered the third week. United Farmers Front said leaders also observed a two minute-silence over the alleged deaths of over 20 protesters at Delhi borders in last 18 days.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Monday joined AAP leaders, MLAs and volunteers at the party office to observe fast in support of protesting farmers and said the three agri laws will lead to immense inflation and just favour a few capitalists , as he termed the legislations anti-farmer and anti-common man .
