New Delhi: Leaders of agitating farmer unions held a one-day hunger strike on Monday (December 14) and protests were held in all district headquarters to press their demand for the repeal of the new farm laws, as more protesters headed for Delhi with a large group blocking the key Delhi-Jaipur national highway when it was stopped by police on Haryana-Rajasthan border.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal also observed a day-long fast on Monday and appealed to the central government to shun ego and scrap the legislation.
Even as more farmers from Punjab and other states arrived near the Singhu and Tikri borders to join the sit-in which has been continuing for 18 days, Union Minister Kailash Choudhary said the government will soon decide a date for the next meeting and expressed confidence that the issues will be resolved this time.
