[Farmers to Resume Delhi Chalo on March 25 if Talks Remain Inconclusive, Says Pandher | Latest News India]
The Uncertain Future of Farmers: Will Talks with Centre Succeed or Will They Have to Resume Their March to Delhi?
Will the Centre’s Latest Initiatives Succeed in Resolving the Farmers’ Demands?
In a press conference on Monday, Sarwan Singh Pandher, the coordinator of Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, warned that if the Centre’s next round of talks with farmers remain inconclusive, the farmers will have no choice but to resume their Delhi Chalo programme on March 25. The latest development comes on the back of ongoing protests and tensions between the Centre and farmers, a situation that has been escalating for months.
A History of Unfruitful Talks
The Centre has held several meetings with farmers, including on February 14 and February 22 in Chandigarh, but these efforts have yet to yield a breakthrough. The most recent round of talks took place on January 18, but they too ended without a consensus. This has left many wondering if the Centre is willing to listen to the demands of the farmers.
A Strong Message from Pandher
In his address, Pandher stressed that the farmers will not back down and will continue to fight for their rights. "We will not be silenced," he said. "We will not be intimidated. We will continue to fight for our rights, and we will continue to demand our rights." His warning was echoed by other farmer leaders present at the press conference, who vowed to continue the struggle and not be deterred by the Centre’s actions.
A Call to Action: Join the Farmers’ Protest
The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) has been a key player in the farmers’ movement, and Pandher’s announcement is a clear call to action for all farmers and supporters to join the protest. The organization has already mobilized hundreds of farmers and is urging others to join the cause. With the Delhi Chalo programme set to resume on March 25, it remains to be seen whether the Centre will budge or if the farmers will have to continue their fight.
The State’s Response
The Bhagwant Mann-led government of Punjab has also been under pressure to support the farmers’ demands. Pandher called upon the state assembly to pass a resolution in support of the farmers’ charter of demands. He also appealed to the state government to send these resolutions to the Centre, a move that could potentially block the implementation of the new agrimarketing policy.
A Show of Solidarity
Pandher also appealed to the political parties of Punjab to raise the issues of farmers and express solidarity with the farmers. This comes as the state assembly is set to debate several key issues, including the new agrimarketing policy and the fate of the MSP system.
Conclusion
As the stalemate continues, the farmers’ demands remain unmet, and the Centre’s latest initiatives show little signs of yielding a breakthrough. In this context, Pandher’s warning is a stark reminder that the farmers will not be silenced and will continue to fight for their rights. Will the Centre listen or will the farmers be forced to resume their march to Delhi? Only time will tell.
