Farmer leader and national spokesperson of Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) Rakesh Tikait has said that the movement by the farmers against the three farm laws and other issues will continue, despite the repeal of the laws announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Rakesh Tikait said that he had no faith in the Prime Minister and that he would now wait for further talks on the issue with the government.
The BKU national spokesperson said this on Twitter soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced repealing the three farm laws, which were at the centre of the farmers’ protest since November 26 last year.
“The protest will not be withdrawn immediately, we will wait for the day when the farm laws are repealed in Parliament. Along with MSP, the government should talk to farmers on other issues too,” Tikait tweeted in Hindi.
