एक साल का लम्बा संघर्ष बेमिसाल
थोड़ी खुशी थोड़ा गम
लड़ रहे है जीत रहे है
लड़ेंगे जीतेंगे

Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared last week that three contentious farm regulations would be repealed. Farmers’ unions applauded the action, but said they would continue to protest until the regulations were formally repealed and other demands were addressed.
Farmers will organise a series of demonstrations and protests across the country today, despite the fact that the government declared that the three laws would be repealed.
Thousands of farmers are expected to gather to mark one year of demonstrations, according to the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella group of numerous farm unions spearheading the continuing uprising.
On Saturday, the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) will hold a conference near the Singhu border, where the protesting agricultural unions will decide on their next course of action.
Security has been beefed up, according to the police, with the addition of paramilitary forces, as well as Delhi Police officials, at the locations where the agitating farmers are staging a sit-in.
On November 26, last year, the “Dilli Chalo” programme kicked off the protest. Thousands more farmers have congregated outside the capital’s boundaries Delhi — Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur since then, posing one of PM Modi’s most serious issues since taking office in 2014. The bans are being repealed just days before crucial elections in places like Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
