Despite the Parliament passing the bills to scrape three controversial farms laws, there seems to be no end in sight of the farmers' year-long agitation against the same. Rakesh Tikait, leader of the farmers, who have been protesting against the three controversial Farm laws that are in the process of being repealed, has demanded a law on the right of guaranteed Minimum support price (MSP).

Speaking to media after both Houses of Parliament approved the Farm laws repeal bill, 2021 on the opening day of the winter session, Tikait said, “the farmers will not end the agitation till a new law on MSP was not passed.

Tikait, who heads the Bhartiya Kissan Union (BKU) chose harsh words for the government. “Government of India should come to senses; its rouge ways will not work. The farmer has suffered enough for a year. We will not relent unless the government makes the MSP (Minimum support Price) a guaranteed right of farmers.

He also issued veiled threats of the repeat of the violence and siege by farmers of the National Capital on Republic day. He said, “Has the government forgotten about the January 26; January 26th is not far; we are still around and so are our four lakh tractors, The government of India should come to its senses and negotiate with us.”

He said the farmers’ agitation will not end even after the President signs the bill to repeal the agriculture laws. The issue of farmers who died during the year-long protests and the criminal cases filed against the farmers during agitation will be taken up, he said.

However, Harmeet Singh Kadian, leader of the SKM (Samyukta Kisan Morcha) said the next meeting of the morcha will be held on December 1 in which decisions on agitation, over MSP Committee, will be taken.

Kadian said the meeting is an emergency, special meeting that will be held by the representatives of farmer organizations who attended 11 rounds of talks with the government
