New Delhi: Rakesh Tikait was stopped at Ghazipur by the Delhi police and detained while on his way to Jantar Mantar on Sunday. The farmer leader was entering the national capital in order to participate in the protest against the high rates of unemployment in the country.
The latter was taken to the Madhu Vihar police station where he was requested to return back, told a Delhi police official.
“The Delhi Police working on the behest of the government cannot suppress the voice of the farmers. This arrest will bring a new revolution. This struggle will continue till the last breath”, Tikait said in a tweet.
सरकार के इशारे पर काम कर रही दिल्ली पुलिस किसानों की आवाज को नहीं दबा सकती। यह गिरफ्तारी एक नई क्रांति लेकर आएगी।
यह संघर्ष अंतिम सांस तक जारी रहेगा।#ना रुकेंगे #ना थकेंगे #ना झुकेंगे।@CPDelhi@ani@PTI_News pic.twitter.com/gw4WnFkZHM— Rakesh Tikait (@RakeshTikaitBKU) August 21, 2022
In an another tweet, Tikait slammed the central government and said, “Modi government is determined to oppress and oppress the unemployed, youth, farmers and laborers. The fight for rights has to be prepared for a long struggle. At the behest of the Centre, the Delhi Police did not allow us to meet the unemployed youth”.
मोदी सरकार बेरोजगारों, नौजवानों, किसानों और मजदूरों के दमन और उत्पीड़न पर उतारू है। अधिकारों की लड़ाई के लिए लंबे संघर्ष को तैयार रहना होगा। केंद्र की शह पर दिल्ली पुलिस ने बेरोजगार युवाओं से नहीं मिलने दिया। #लड़ेंगे_जीतेंगे @ANI @PTI_News @DelhiPolice @PMOIndia pic.twitter.com/OYqYLuf54k
