Narendra Tikait

A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi's proposed event at Ferozepur in Punjab had to be cancelled owing to a security lapse, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait said that it was an attempt by the Centre to find a "cheap way to gain public sympathy".

Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday said that farmers do not want an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi adding that they do not want to tarnish his image abroad.

The farmers at the borders of Delhi have said that they will go on with their protests till the three contentious farm laws are formally cancelled.

Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait today said the Centre's announcement on repealing the three farm laws seems to be an election gimmick.

Hours before Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first bilateral talks with Joe Biden, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait sent out an appeal to the US President to "focus" on the controversial farm laws passed by the Centre when he met with the PM.

Farmers' Protest: The farmers are ready to continue protests on the borders of Delhi, against the three agricultural laws, for the remaining three and half years of the Narendra Modi government's second term, said farmer leader Narendra Tikait. The farmers' protest has been continuing for more than 100 days.

Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait took a dig at Union Minister Narendra Singh Tomar's remark that a mere gathering of crowd does not lead to revocation of laws, saying when people gather governments get changed.

Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait today criticised Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "Andolan-jivi" (professional protesters) remarks and asked if people like great freedom fighter Bhagat Singh will also be put in that category.

Farmer leader Naresh Tikait on Sunday said that protesting farmers will honour the dignity of prime minister, but are also committed to protecting their self-respect, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said his government was just a "phone call away" for talks with them.
