Farmers on Saturday gave an ultimatum to the Centre that they will take out 'Republic Parade' into Delhi on 26 January with their tractor, trolleys and other vehicles with the national flag on them, if their demands are not met.
"We intend to be peaceful and told the central government during our talks that it has only two options – either repeal the three farm acts or use force to evict us. The time has come for decisive action as we have chosen January 26 both because the Republic Day represents the supremacy of the people and also because we would have demonstrated patiently and peacefully at Delhi’s borders for two full months in extreme weather conditions by then to get our demands met," the Farmers' Unions said.
They also said, "Lohri or Makarsankaranti will be marked as Kisan Sankalp Diwas by burning the copies of these three laws and January 18 will be celebrated as Mahila Kisan Diwas to underline the role of women farmers. On January 23, the birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose, Azad Hind Kisan Diwas will be marked by protesting outside official residences of governors in all state capitals."
The farmers also rejected the government's claim of resolving 50% of their demands. They said that the government has only agreed on two minor demands, while the major ones are yet to be unresolved.
