For the first time in history, the farmers across the country, who are protesting against the three controversial agri laws, will celebrate India’s 75th Independence Day as ‘Kisan Mazdoor Azaadi Sangram Diwas’.
Farmers united by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha’s national call, will mark the day with ‘tiranga rallies’ at block and tehsil levels. However, the farmers are unlikely to enter Delhi.
‘On August 15, Samyukt Kisan Morcha has given a call for all constituents to mark the day as Kisan Mazdoor Azaadi Sangram Diwas, with tiranga marches to be organised on that day,’ said Kavitha Kuruganti of AIKSCC (All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee).
‘On that day, tractors, motorcycles, cycles, and carts will be taken out in tiranga marches by farmers and workers to block, tehsil, district headquarters or to their nearest kisan morchas or dharnas. These marches will be taken out with the national flag on the vehicles,’ he added.
The rallies will be taken out nationwide from 11 am to 1 pm, another farmer leader Abhimanyu Kohar said.
At the Delhi borders too, including Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur, tri-colour marches and programmes will be held throughout the day.
