In another one of his provocative messages, Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) general counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun called on protesting farmers in India to take up arms against the police officials in Punjab and Haryana.
The Indian farmers are currently engaged in protests at various borders in Punjab and Harayana, where the police officials are preventing them from marching into New Delhi.
Issuing a video message on February 18, Pannun, who is a wabted terrorist in India, encouraged farmers to pick up arms against the officials, offering to provide ammunition.
“Arm yourself to fight Indian bullets. Weapons are available at the Kartarpur border near Pakistan,” he said, according to a various media reports.
Pannun’s message came ahead of the fourth round of talks between the protesting farmers’ leaders and union ministers Arjun Munda, Piyush Goyal, and Nityanand Rai that took place on Feb. 18 in Chandigarh.
Sarvan Singh Pandher, general secretary of the Punjab Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, spoke to the assembled media outside the meeting venue.
"We will have discussions on the proposal by the govt in the next two days...The govt will also deliberate on the other demands...We will continue with the 'Delhi Chalo' march on Feb 21 if there is no result," Pandher said.
The ‘Delhi Chalo’ march began on February 13 with participation from more than 200 farmers’ unions to pressure the Centre to accept several demands, including a law guaranteeing a minimum support price (MSP).
MSP is the lowest price at which government agencies buy crops from farmers, the implementation of which is crucial for income security for farmers. It is determined by the Commission for Agricultural Costs and Price (CACP) after factoring in production costs, market trends, and the demand-supply element.
Farmers’ demands also include implementing the Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations, pensions for farmers and farm laborers, and the withdrawal of police cases.
