Taking cognizance of the entire situation, a group of 101 people will leave for Delhi tomorrow at noon. Our hunger strike has entered its 12th day...

16 farmers injured

Addressing the media at Shambhu on the Punjab-Haryana border on Saturday, Pandher said that 16 farmers were injured due to tear gas shells fired by Haryana security personnel. One of them lost his hearing ability. He said that except for four injured farmers, the rest had been discharged from the hospital.

Farmers have been stopped at the Haryana border

.The 'jatha' was stopped due to multi-layered barricading put up by Haryana security personnel. Ignoring prohibitory orders, the farmers tried to cross the barricades but the security personnel stopped them and fired several rounds of tear gas shells to make them go back to their protest site at Shambhu in Punjab. On the action of security personnel against the protesting farmers, Pandher said the BJP government at the Centre has been exposed. "What did they do yesterday? People are angry with this action. People are asking the BJP that since the farmers were not carrying tractor-trolleys with them, why were they not allowed to proceed," Pandher said.

Earlier the foot march was postponed.

On Friday, protesting farmers suspended their march towards the national capital after some farmers were injured when security personnel fired tear gas shells at the Punjab-Haryana border. Farmers are pressing for the fulfillment of various demands, including a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP).
