Over twenty thousand people, including farmer leaders Rakesh Tikait, Balbir Singh Rajewal and Darshan Pal Singh, attended a Mahapanchayat today at the Kitlana Toll Plaza in Haryana, in support of the ongoing agitation against farm laws recently enacted by the Narendra Modi government. “Fasal ka faisla kisan karega aur sarkar ka faisla panch karega,” Tikait said—Decisions on crops will be made by farmers, and decisions on governments will be made by panchayats.” He added, “This is not a gathering of Jats, it's a gathering of all communities.” In a statement to the press, Darshan Pal affirmed the demands brought out in the mahapanchayat, including a repeal of the laws, a law for minimum support price, and the withdrawal of false cases against farmer protesters.
