Ravneet Brar on Kisan Andolan's 5th Anniversary: 'We Are Awakening A Government In Deep Sleep'

On the fifth anniversary of the Kisan Andolan, farmer union leader Ravneet Singh Brar stated that farmers have gathered in Chandigarh to awaken a government that is in a 'deep sleep'. Speaking to India Today, Brar, representing the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, said that written assurances given to farmers remain unfulfilled. Key pending demands include a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) based on the C2+50 formula, addressing the rising input costs for farmers, and resolving issues related to the Electricity Amendment Bill 2025. The protest, involving 32 farmer unions from Punjab, aims to submit a memorandum to the state's Governor and Chief Minister. Brar emphasized that the gathering is an 'awakening call' to the government to listen to farmers and labourers and improve their livelihood.
