Delhi Chalo: Farmers resume protest against Modi govt on MSP, tear gas used in Punjab-Haryana border

Feb 21, 2024..

New Delhi/IBNS: Tear gas shells have been used to disperse the farmers from Punjab and Haryana who resumed their protests against the Narendra Modi government on Minimum Support Price (MSP) on Wednesday, media reports said.


The farmers, who had called off the protests briefly, resumed it, snubbing the government's offer to buy a few crops at the old MSP.

Just a couple of days ago, the government held a meeting with the protesting farmers' unions and came out with a plan involving the purchase of pulses, maize and cotton crops by government agencies at MSP.

The meeting was attended by protesting farmers, Union Agriculture and Farmer Welfare Minister Arjun Munda and Minister of State for Home Affairs.

Post meeting, Union Minister of Commerce and Industry, Piyush Goyal, said, "We had a detailed discussion for the welfare of farmers with a new thought. Prime Minister Narendra Modi-ji always cares for the farmers."

"After a detailed meeting with a positive approach and innovative thinking, we have arrived at a plan that would benefit farmers as well as the economy of the country," he added.

Much like in 2020, farmers from Punjab, Haryana marched towards Delhi, dubbed as 'Delhi Chalo'

A prolonged and violent protests by the farmers in 2020 against the Centre's farm laws had prompted Prime Minister Narendra Modi to withdraw them.

In a similar approach, the farmers from Punjab and Haryana started marching towards Delhi this year.
