The Haryana Samyukt Kisan Morcha has decided that Hisar district must file an FIR against BJP MP Ram Chander Jangra and his associates for seriously injuring a protestor Kuldeep Singh Rana yesterday. Rana is still in ICU and has not be declared out of danger. While the three farmers – Harshdeep Gill, Kailash and Sudhir – arrested by Haryana police were let go the day before, the farmers demand that the FIR against them be withdrawn.

Right now, thousands of farmers have been on a sit-in in front of the Narnaund police station and if the administration does not comply with their demands, they will gherao the Hisar Superintendent of Police tomorrow. Meanwhile, injured farmer Rana’s wife will shortly file a case against administration for grievously injuring her husband and MP Jangra for inciting violence.

While unseasonal rains and government’s callousness did affect paddy procurement, there is still a severe DAP fertiliser crises, many farmers are returning to the protest sites.

Meanwhile, at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, also known as COP26, at Glasgow, Scotland hundreds marched against the Indian government’s draconian Farm Laws. British MP Claudia Webbe has been tweeting the farmers’ demands.
