Punjab farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal on Sunday ended his indefinite fast, which he had started on November 26 last year to press for various demands of agitating farmers including a legal guarantee on the minimum support price for crops.<\/p>\n
The announcement came a day after Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Union Minister of State for Railways Ravneet Singh Bittu appealed to him to end his fast-unto-death.<\/p>\n
Mr Dallewal announced that he was ending his indefinite fast at a ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ organised at Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib district of Punjab.<\/p>\n
“You (farmers) all have asked me to end the fast unto death. I am indebted to you for taking care of the agitation. I respect your sentiments. I accept your order,” said Mr Dallewal while addressing the farmers’ gathering.<\/p>\n
Mr Dallewal is a senior leader of a joint forum of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM). He began his indefinite hunger strike on November 26 last year to press the Centre to accept the farmers’ demands.<\/p>\n
After the Centre invited the farmer leaders for talks in January, Mr Dallewal started taking medical aid at the Khanauri protest site but did not end his fast.<\/p>\n
On Saturday, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had appealed to Mr Dallewal to end his hunger strike.<\/p>\n
In a post on X, he said, “The ongoing dialogue between the representatives of the Government of India and the representatives of farmers’ organisations regarding their demands is continuing.<\/p>\n
