Chalo Dilli,

you close down tomorrow. Now ask the Central government that has occupied you to agree to these demands by the 30 Kisan Unions.

Remember, the farmers who have fed you for past 60 years do not want to inconvenience you. They seek your support to pressure the government. They start their blockade on Baba Nanak’s 551 birth anniversary.

Baba Nanak preached ‘Sarbat Da Bhala’. The blockade is because it is not the government but the protesters who have the nation’s long term interest and food security in their mind.

Demands:

1. The three agricultural laws by the Modi government should be repealed.
2. Electricity Bill of 2020 should be withdrawn.
3. One-sided ordinance issued by the government in the name of pollution control, under which stubble burning farmers will be penalised with a fine of Rs 1 crore and a punishment of up to 5 years, should be withdrawn.
4. MSP and rate of buying should be guaranteed.
and a fifth, not covered in the attached news story but mentioned in many posts on social media.
5. Farmer leaders, student leaders, anti-NRC agitators, revolutionaries and human rights activists who have been jailed under false cases should be released at the earliest and all fake cases should be withdrawn.

Friends, please also share. Amplify the voice.
