With farmers on Thursday blocking railway tracks across the country, at stations big and small, protesters at Singhu said it proves that the agitation is not just limited to Punjab and Haryana.
"The government has constantly been saying that the protest against the three farm laws is being staged by the farmers of just two states, Punjab and Haryana, but the rail roko andolan shows that the government is wrong.
"Farmers from so many states have participated. That is why it was important for us to protest on the railway tracks. Like the railways that has a nationwide network, our protest is also happening across the country," Krantikari Kisan Union's Gurdaspur district president Bhajan Singh said.
Besides multiple railway stations across Punjab and Haryana, the "rail roko" protest was also staged at different places in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka, among others.
According to another farmer leader, Amrik Singh, it was one of the many ways the protesters wanted to show their strength to the government.
"The three laws need to be repealed and the Samyukt Kisan Morcha is trying to put pressure on the government from every angle. But we have been protesting peacefully and will continue to do so," the Jalandhar state unit president of the BKU (Kadia), said.
He added that the "rail roko" event was limited to four hours because the farmers "only wanted to send a message to the government and not inconvenience the public".
"We do not want to create problems for the passengers. We only want the government to accept our demands, so that they can also sleep peacefully and we can return home to our families," he said.
Thousands of farmers have been protesting since late November at Delhi's borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, demanding a rollback of the three new farm laws.
The protesting farmers have expressed their apprehension that these laws would pave the way for the dismantling of the minimum support price (MSP) system, leaving them at the "mercy" of big corporations.
However, the government has maintained that the new laws will bring better opportunities to farmers and introduce new technologies in agriculture.
Many farmers at the Singhu border protest site said their family members were sitting on railway tracks back in their villages.
"Through today's event, the entire country is awakening. It shows that our demand is the country's demand. We are positive that we will resolve this, whether it takes two months or four," Jairam Singh from Punjab's Hoshiarpur said.
He said while he had come all the way to Singhu to join the agitation, his family members, including his wife and brother, were sitting on railway tracks back in Desuya.
Aman Sahota and Vivek Syal, also from Hoshiarpur, shared similar stories of family members participating in the "rail roko" event back home in Tanda and Jalandhar.
"We will be peaceful, but we will protest. Nothing can stop us," Mr Sahota said.
