Amidst escalating tensions, Sarwan Singh Pandher, the general secretary of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, affirmed that farmers would recommence their 'Delhi Chalo' march on February 21. He stressed the government's accountability following failed negotiations. The decision follows the rejection of the government's proposal.

Pandher reiterated the farmers' determination to proceed with the march despite the government's attempts to deter them. He criticized the government's intentions, stating that they were adamant about preventing the farmers from entering Delhi. The failure to find a resolution through dialogue led to the decision to resume the march.

Highlighting the severity of the situation, Pandher drew parallels between Haryana and Kashmir, condemning the use of force against protesters. He demanded accountability for the use of tear gas and bullets on demonstrators. The farmers firmly rejected the government's proposal, considering it unfavorable to their interests.

Jagjit Singh Dallewal, another prominent farmer leader, echoed Pandher's sentiments, emphasizing the inadequacy of the government's proposal. The proposal, which aimed to purchase select crops at minimum support prices over five years, was deemed insufficient by the farmers' representatives.

The rejection of the proposal came after a series of talks between farmer leaders and Union Ministers failed to yield a consensus. The talks, led by ministers including Arjun Munda and Piyush Goyal, took place in Chandigarh. Despite the setback, farmers remain resolute in their demands, determined to press ahead with their protests.
