Central Government Should Listen To Farmers’ Demand: Kejriwal Backs Bharat Bandh
Arvind Kejriwal questioned the center saying, if we don’t listen to our farmers in independent India, then who will?
Mumbai: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has backed the agitated farmers and urged the central government to listen to their demands.
While speaking to the reporters during the Delhi Tourism App launch, Kejriwal said, “This is very sad that on the occasion of Bhagat Singh birthday, farmers had to call for a Bharat Bandh. It has been almost a year since the farmer is trying to convince the government. This is an independent India. If we don’t listen to our farmers in independent India, then who will?”
He further said that the demands of the farmers are correct and the government should listen to their demands.
“All the demands are correct, and since the beginning, we have backed them. I appeal to the Central government to listen to their demands as soon as possible so that they can go home and start their work. Enough talks have been held by the Agriculture Minister, now he should just announce that we are listening to their demands,” he added.
The 10-hour Bharat Bandh is the latest attempt by the protesters to push their demand of the withdrawal of the three central laws. The farmers have been protesting near national capital Delhi since November last year, demanding that the three laws be scrapped.
The Centre and farmer unions have held 11 rounds of talks so far, but the impasse is continuing with the farmers refusing to end their protest.
