If these laws are implemented then agriculture of India will go into the hands of a few industrialists and the farmers will be devastated. If these laws are implemented then farmers will become labourers on their own land,” he said.Also read: ‘Happened in US 40 Years Ago’: 87 US Farmers’ Unions Speak Out for Indian Farmers’ ProtestKejriwal said on February 28, a Kisan Mahapanchayat will be organised in Meerut where discussion would take place on the three laws. “At that Mahapanchayat, farmers will demand immediate rollback of these three anti-farmer laws brought by the BJP-ruled Central government,” he added.During the meeting, farmer leader Chaudhury Rohit Jakhar accused the BJP-ruled Centre of putting up barricades and embedding huge nails in the roads. But, with Kejriwal inviting the farmers of western Uttar Pradesh to the Delhi Assembly, he said, he has broken all barriers of caste, religion and sect and welcomed the “entire Chaudharahat” of the region.Jakhar said the farmers are demanding the immediate repeal of the three laws, a new law to provide legal guarantee of MSP and implementation of Swaminathan Commission recommendations on MSP. He said the protests would continue till these demands are met. “This battle is for the farmers but this battle will become a battle of every citizen because farmers provide food to all,” he declared.Another farmer leader, Chaudhary Yashpal Singh, said Kejriwal has assured farmers all support in their agitation.
