The fifth round of talks between the government and protesting farmers on Saturday was also inconclusive. After this, the Centre has called another meeting on 9 December to end the deadlock. Farmer leader Baldev Singh Yadav said, “This movement is not only for the farmers of Punjab, but for the whole country. We are going to strengthen our movement and it has already spread across the country.” He appealed to everyone to ensure that the bandh is peaceful, saying, “Since the government was not treating us properly, so We called for a Bharat Bandh.”
Who all have supported the Bandh?
Congress President Sonia Gandhi, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief Sharad Pawar, Marxist Communist Party (CPI) General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) chief MK Stalin and Gupkar Manifesto Alliance (PAGD) President Farooq Abdullah and other opposition leaders issued a joint statement on Sunday to support the ‘Bharat Bandh’ called by the farmers’ organizations and pressurized the Centre to accept the demands of the protesters.
