Kept Under House Arrest, Gujarat Farmers' Leaders Disguise Themselves to Join Delhi Protests
A well known farmers' leader told The Wire that the only reason that Gujarat farmers were not able to protest against the farm laws was strict police surveillance that made it difficult to leave the state.

Mohali: Farmer leaders from Gujarat â Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s home state â say they have had to disguise themselves to evade heavy police surveillance and join the protests against the farm laws.
Palbhai Ambaliya, Yakub Guraji and Jayesh Patel, along with other leaders and representatives from the farmers’ unions of Gujarat, had formed an umbrella organisation called the Gujarat Kisan Sangharsh Samiti, on December 6, to mobilise support for the âDelhi Chaloâ protest by farmers in north India.
