The left-affiliated All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) and the Raju Shetti-led Swabhimani Shetkari Sanghatana (SSS) will be spearheading a big agitation on Thursday to protest against the Centre and the Delhi Police’s ‘repressive actions’ against farmers protesting the contentious farm laws.
“This agitation will be a jolt to the Centre. A number of farmer and labour outfits will be joining the protests… We will be staging rasta rokos (roadblocks) across Maharashtra in solidarity of our protesting colleagues in Delhi,” said Dr. Ajit Nawale, State Secretary, AIKS, adding that the decision to hold a State-wide protest on Thursday had been taken after a meeting of the ‘All India Farmers’ Struggle Coordinating Committee.’
This is another step to intensify the ongoing nationwide agitation against the anti-farmer policies of the Central government, said Dr. Nawale.
