Delhi, Feb 4: The Samyukta Kisan Morcha leading farmers protests at Delhi borders on Thursday said the ongoing agitation has been and will remain apolitical and no political leader is allowed to speak from its stage, according to PTI.
The assertion comes in the backdrop of politicians of different parties visiting protest sites at Singhu, Ghazipur, Tikri and other border points to extend their support to the farmers protesting against the Centre’s farm laws.
“This movement has been completely apolitical from the beginning and will remain apolitical. The support of political parties and leaders to this movement is welcomed, but in no case the Samyukta Kisan Morcha’s stage will be allowed for political leaders,” said a Morcha statement issued by one of its leaders Darshan Pal.
The outfit has also demanded the immediate reinstatement of internet services disrupted at the protest sites.
