The government is reiterating that there is nothing against the farmers in the bills and they are just adding more freedom to how the produce is dealt with. Some protesting Sikh Jat farmers had been saying on television news channels that they hold 10-30 acres of land. Jat Sikhs, who form around a quarter of Punjab’s population, lead the party. However, for the interest of the state and to get more support of the Jat Sikhs, the Congress government of Punjab is on the side of the protesting farmers. At least the brave farmers have shaken the corridors of power in Delhi, which have increasingly been turning suppressive and dictatorial.
