Olympian Vinesh Phogat has joined the thousands of farmers protesting in Shambhu border. Attending the 200th anniversary of the farmers’ movement, Phogat praised the farmers and assured them that your daughter is with them.
Vinesh said, “The farmers have been sitting here for a long time and fighting for their rights. I have come here as their daughter. Seeing their patience and determination despite sitting in the movement for so long, it seems as if the movement has started today. But after sitting in the movement for a long time, confidence goes away. When we were sitting in the movement, we felt that way.
Also, he himself feels proud of being born in a farming family. Vinesh said, “I am lucky that I was born in a farmer family. I want to tell you that your daughter is with you. We have to stand up for our rights, because no one else will come for us. I pray to God, fulfill your demands.” Let it be, and you shall not return without taking possession.
Vinesh also requested the government to fulfill the demands of the farmers. Disappointed, he said, farmers are sitting here for 200 days for their rights. It is very sad that even after 200 days of agitation, their demands have not been fulfilled. I appeal to the government to fulfill their demands,” said Phogat.
However, thousands of farmers began marching towards Delhi on February 13, demanding a legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for all crops and other demands. But they are agitating at Shambhu border as they are not allowed to enter Delhi. Today, as the movement completes 200 days, the farmers gathered and took out a huge procession.
