[Marxistindia] Hear Our Farmers' Voice: Stop Repression

Press Statement
The undersigned leaders of the several political Parties have issued the
following joint statement:
Hear Our Farmers' Voice: Stop Repression
Braving severe repression, teargasing, heavy water cannoning, roadblocks,
police barricades and digging up the national highways surrounding Delhi
akin to waging a 'war' on our farmers, tens of thousands of farmers have
successfully reached the National Capital of Delhi. We salute their
determination and courage in this massive protest demanding the withdrawal
of the retrograde anti-Kisan agri laws.
The Central Government was forced to relent and reverse its earlier decision
of preventing our Kisans from reaching Delhi to peacefully voice their
protest and allocated them a place to assemble. This ground, however, is too
small for the tens of thousands that have reached Delhi. We the undersigned
demand that a larger ground like Ram Lila Maidan or similar must be allotted
for this peaceful protest and all necessary arrangements must be made for
their stay and food.
We reiterate our opposition to these new agri-laws that threaten India's
food security, abolish MSP, destroy Indian agriculture and our farmers-
'Annadatas'. The Central Government must adhere to the democratic process
and norms and address the concerns of the protesting farmers.
