PATIALA: Thousands of farmers gathered at the Khanauri border on Saturday in a massive show of strength as their leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal's fast-unto-death entered the 40th day.
Dallewal was brought to the main stage in an ambulance with a medical team. During his 11-minute address at the "kisan mahapanchayat" at Khanauri, the farmer leader rejected concerns about his health, instead highlighting the broader crisis facing India's agricultural community.
"Now, from every village, one tractor-trailer should reach Khanauri to strengthen this morcha. It is not me who is fighting the battle, but it is God's will," he said.
He also urged farmers in other states to hold protests to demonstrate that the movement extends beyond Punjab.
"Already over 7 lakh farmers have committed suicide owing to the distress in the farming sector. The Supreme Court should think of children and family members of the farmers who have committed suicide rather than my health," Dallewal, who leads the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), said.
