'Agri minister meets farmers of poll-bound Delhi, but has no time for us'
Millennium Post Delhi|January 09, 2025
Protesting farmer leaders stationed at the Punjab-Haryana border on Wednesday slammed Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, saying he has time to meet farmers of poll-bound Delhi but has failed to see the "struggle" of those who have been "sitting on roads" for the past 11 months.

Farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, whose fast-unto-death entered the 44th day on Wednesday, requested that nobody be sent to him for a meeting as he has difficulty speaking due to his "deteriorating" health.

Dallewal, who is the convener of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), has been on an indefinite hunger strike at the Khanauri border point between Punjab and Haryana since November 26 last year over farmers' various demands including seeking a legal guarantee on the minimum support price (MSP) for crops.
