CPIML and All India Kisan Mahasabha organized memorial meetings across Uttar Pradesh to pay tribute to the 36 farmers who have so far been martyred in the ongoing farmers’ struggle for repeal of the three black anti-farm laws.
Speakers on the occasion said that farmers along with their families have now been sitting at the Delhi borders for 25 days in a peaceful dharna against the anti-farm laws. They are dying in the bitter cold but in the eyes of the government they are either ‘fake’ farmers or farmers who have been ‘misled’. In the eyes of the Modi government the real farmers are Adani-Ambani who will do farming on contract and for whose benefit the government has brought these three draconian laws.
The sacrifice of the farmers martyred in this ongoing struggle will not go in vain. When the farmer rises, the throne is sure to shake. No matter how much the government tries to defame the movement, it will not succeed in breaking the farmers’ resolve. The government will have to repeal these black laws.
CPIML State Secretary Sudhakar Yadav, AIARLA National Pesident Shriram Chaudhury, CPIML State Standing Committee member Lal Saheb, and State Committee member Mithai Lal paid tribute to the martyred farmers in Varanasi. Kisan Mahasabha State Secretary Ishwari Prasad Kushwaha paid tribute in Ghazipur. Memorial meetings for the martyred farmers were organized at Azamgarh, Mau, Chandauli, Ballia, Gorakhpur, Devariya, Prayagraj, Rae Bareli, Jaunpur, Lakhimpur Kheeri, Jalaun, Mathura, Moradabad and other Districts. Poster exhibitions were also put up at some Districts. The memorial meetings were organized in response to the nationwide call given by the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC).
