'Modi hosh mein ao': Farmers chant slogans during Parliament march

November 30, 2018 13:17

Thousands of farmers from across the country, who are making their way to Parliament, amid heavy policy deployment, have been chanting slogans of 'Narendra Modi hosh mein ao'.

The farmers also raised slogans of 'Takht badal do taj badal do, baimano ka raj badal do."

Farmers from different parts of the country, including Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh converged at the Ramlila ground on Thursday.

While on the march, activist Medha Patkar was quoted by Huffpost India as saying, "Farmers here not for any political purpose but to give an ultimatum to them who have destroyed agriculture."

Banded under the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee, which claims to be an umbrella body of 207 organisations of farmers and agricultural workers, many farmers arrived in the city on Thursday, on trains, buses and other modes of transport.
