”If any dispute ends by apologising to the Bishnoi community, then what is wrong in it? If a mistake has been made knowingly or unknowingly, then what does Salman Khan lose in apologising?” the farmer leader asked.
Emergency services related to ambulance, death, marriage, medical shops, newspaper supply, board exams and passengers to the airport will remain available throughout the day
Tikait is also the spokesperson for the union.
Speaking to reporters here on Sunday evening, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) national spokesperson said the nation will never forget the violence that took place in Tikunia village on this day last year and claimed eight lives.
On June 24, farmer activist Rakesh Tikait announced that the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) will stage a statewide demonstration against the Centre's Agnipath military recruitment scheme.
Miscreants on Monday threw ink on Tikait during an event organised by a farmers' organisation at Gandhi Bhavan in the Karnataka capital following which three people were arrested.
Soon after the incident, clashes took place between the organizers and the miscreants leading to both sides attacking each other with plastic chairs.
Rakesh Tikait said the Uttar Pradesh government should now work to provide security, compensation and justice to the aggrieved farmers.
The remark of the national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) came late on Thursday after the BJP won majority seats in four states, including Uttar Pradesh, while the Aam Aadmi Party stormed to power in Punjab.
Voting in the six assembly seats, including Muzaffarnagar, Budhana, Pyrkazi, Khatoli, Murapur and Charthawal were held in first phase on February 10.
Ashish Mishra, the son of Union Minister Ajay Mishra 'Teni', is a key accused in the case and the Allahabad High Court granted him bail on February 10.
The BJP had swept to power at the Centre in 2014 and in UP after the 2017 assembly elections amid an apparent fall out between the Jat and Muslim communities in the aftermath of the violence in western part of the state.
The communally sensitive western Uttar Pradesh has emerged as a citadel of the BJP since 2014. But the anguish among farmers, arising from the year-long agrarian protest, may upset the party's electoral equations in the region. The Opposition bloc of SP-RLD is hopeful of realigning the Jats and Muslims to outmatch the saffron camp.
The national spokesperson of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) continued his attack on the Centre as he returned home after 383 days of protest at Ghazipur on Delhi’s border.
A havan will be performed at Ghazipur border, following which Tikait and other farmer leaders will leave the protest site
The statement comes days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi promised that the Centre will repeal the three farm laws that triggered nationwide farmers' protest.
What the Centre had planned would, in the aggregate, raise farm incomes substantially and enable India to move up from being a low middle income country. The crucial mistake the Centre made was not to spend enough time with farmers explaining the whole new system and securing their support
Farm laws: Addressing the nation on the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti, PM Modi said the three agricultural laws were for the benefit of farmers but "we couldn't convince a section of farmers despite best efforts".
November 26 would mark one year of the ongoing farmers’ protests at Delhi’s border points of Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur. The protests are led by farmers collective Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM).
Talking to reporters in Uttar Pradesh's Shamli district on Sunday evening, he said that the Centre is overlooking ''the one-year long agitation of farmers in which 750 farmers have died''.
Participating in a discussion, titled "Seeds of Wrath: Fears and Facts: How to address the farm crisis", at the India Today Conclave 2021, BJP MP Rajendra Agarwal countered Tikait, saying the protest against three farm laws of the Centre appears to be politically motivated.
Eight people were killed on Sunday as violence erupted during a farmers' protest, claiming the lives of both farmers and BJP workers ahead of a visit to Lakhimpur by Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya.
His remarks have come in the wake of Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath announcing a Rs 25 per quintal hike in the purchase prices of sugarcane in the state taking it to Rs 350 per quintal.
Rakesh Tikait, National spokesperson of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU), wrote in the tweet to Joe Biden: “Dear POTUS... Seven hundred farmers have died in the last 11 months protesting. These black laws should be repealed to save us.”
Seeking the support of Indians in the US, the national spokesperson of the BKU claimed that over 750 farmers have lost their lives during the stir against the contentious new farm laws, but the Centre is still not willing to reconsider the legislations.
