New Delhi: Bharatiya Kisan Union Spokesperson Rakesh Tikait during farmers protest against the new farm laws, at Ghazipur border in New Delhi, Sunday, Jan. 31, 2021.
The Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) had not allowed political parties in the movement against new central farm laws but took political support only after democracy was mocked at protest sites, Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait said Sunday. Tikait made the remark as hundreds of farmers reached a key protest site on the Delhi-Meerut highway in Ghazipur on the national capital s border with Uttar Pradesh where they danced to upbeat tunes, creating a festive atmosphere as more supporters continued to pour in.
