Abhay Chautala kicks-off tractor march
Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader and Ellenabad MLA Abhay Singh Chautala kicked-off a tractor march on Thursday with scores of farmers from Sirsa to Tikri border
Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) leader and Ellenabad MLA Abhay Singh Chautala kicked-off a tractor march on Thursday with scores of farmers from Sirsa to Tikri border to extend support to the agitators camping at Delhi borders against the Centre’s three farm laws.
Chautala said that his tractor march will reach Hansi in Hisar this evening and will reach at Tikri border on Friday.
“I kicked-off the march as a farmer not as an MLA. I will launch another tractor march from Ambala and Bhiwani, which will join farmers at Singhu and Rewari-Rajasthan borders, respectively,” he added.
He said that government should repeal these laws at the earliest. He accused the government of cruelty against farmers.
Haryana Congress chief Kumari Selja reached the Masani barrage in Rewari and Kheda-Shahjahanpur border to support the farmers’ agitation. She accused the Union government of cheating the farmers in the name of dialogue.
Hundreds of farmers from Sampla in Rohtak also started a tractor march for Tikri border. Former MLA and BJP leader Nripender Singh have quit the saffron party over the said farm laws.
Addressing the farmers at Kitlana toll plaza in Dadri, Nripender said he had cornered himself from the party activities when the three farm laws were introduced and now he has decided to quit the party.
Former Bhiwani-Mahendergarh MP and Congress leader Shruti Choudhry also joined the stir at Kharkri village in Bhiwani’s Loharu constituency represented by Haryana agriculture minister JP Dalal.
She hit-out at Dalal for “spreading lies” on the SYL issue with an aim to divide the farmers of Haryana and Punjab, who are sitting at Delhi borders demanding that the three laws be repealed.
