Going firm on their demand for repeal of the new agri laws, hundreds of farmers spent another night in the cold and withstood spells of drizzle on Thursday at Ghazipur, their heavily-secured protest site at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait, leading the stir here since November with his supporters, said the movement at Delhi s outskirts could continue till October this year and would be supported by villagers. He also took a veiled jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the fortification of the protest sites at Ghazipur, Tikri and Singhu as he shared with the press the details of the proposed February 6 chakka jaam (blockading of roads as a form of protest).
