Amid farmers protest, Rakesh Tikait says no ‘chakka jam’ in Delhi on Feb 6
"There will be a three-hour-long 'chakka jam' on February 6. It won't take place in Delhi but everywhere outside Delhi. The people that will be stuck in it will be given food and water. We will tell them what is the Govt doing with us," Tikait said.
New Delhi: As the farmers agitation completes more than two months and with no signs of any abatement, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Thursday said that the planned three-hour-long ‘chakka jam’ on February 6 will not take place in Delhi.
Speaking to reporters at the Ghazipur protest site, Tikait said farmers would provide food and water to the people who will be stuck due to ‘chakka jam’.
“There will be a three-hour-long ‘chakka jam’ on February 6. It won’t take place in Delhi but everywhere outside Delhi. The people that will be stuck in it will be given food and water. We will tell them what is the Govt doing with us,” Tikait said.
When asked about comments by the international celebrities on farmers’ protests in India, he said that there is no harm in ‘Hollywood artists supporting farmers’ movement’.
“There is no harm in Hollywood artists supporting farmers’ movement, I don’t know them personally, but they are supporting without any expectation,” Tikait said.
