“
Sarkar hamare liye kaatein aur taar lagayegi, hum uske liye phool lagayenge. The government will plant nails and razor wires for us, we will plant flowers for it,” said Sukhjeet Singh, a farmer, pointing to a group of men digging a patch of land near the coils of sharp concertina wires placed as part of the several layers of barricading at the Ghazipur border near Delhi.
“We have already planted potatoes and sugarcane in two rows. This is all we know or can do. What they [the government] have done is their job; we farmers will do ours,” Mr. Singh said as some of the farmers squatted to plant flowers while others, at a little distance, patted the soil where they had sown vegetables on Saturday afternoon.
Ludhiana: A day after violence was witnessed during the tractor rally in Delhi, many farmers from the district at the dharna site condemned unfurling of a religious flag at the Red Fort, but said they would continue with the struggle till their demands were met.
“We don’t approve of what happened at the Red Fort, and the farmers tell us they didn’t have any plan to go there. Those behind it had links with the government. We believe there will be some sort of disturbance for a day or two after which things will normalise. Those who have been sitting there for long will not return till the anti-farming laws are repealed,” said Sukhjeet Singh from Chakar village who is at Tikri border along with many fellow villagers.
