Reacting to the Union Government's statement that farmers will be able to sell their produce anywhere in the country once the three laws are implemented, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait on Friday said the growers would not hesitate in taking their produce to Parliament where the MSP was fixed.

He was addressing mediapersons at the Dhansa border here. Tikait said the growers were ready for a long haul to get the three farm laws repealed.

Tikait said the future of farmers could not be decided by sitting in plush houses in Delhi. Before the implementation of any farm-related law, the government should hold a discussion with farmers, he added.

On the other hand, BKU leader Gurnam Singh Charuni, who reached the Tikri protest site today, clarified that any call to intensify the agitation would be taken by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha. “At present, there is no plan to march towards Delhi,” said Charuni, on being asked about Tikait’s remark that farmers would go to Delhi to sell their produce at the MSP.
