No Condolence From GoI Over Farmers’ Death In Farm Movement, Says Rakesh Tikait

Mumbai: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday hit out at the central government and said there was no condolence from the Indian government on the death of farmers in the agrarian agitation.

Speaking to ANI, Tikait said, “About 750 farmers died in the farm movement…There was no condolence from GoI. Country’s farmers feel that perhaps PM Modi is not ‘farmers’ PM’… and consider them (farmers) as separate from the country.”

Farmers have been protesting at different sites since November 26 last year against the three enacted farm laws: Farmers’ Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020. Farmer leaders and the Centre have held several rounds of talks but the impasse remains
