If the Centre does not repeal the three new farm laws, the protesting farmers will gherao Parliament, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait said. He requested the farmers to be ready as the call for the 'Delhi march' can be given at any time.
While addressing the Kisan Mahapanchayat of United Kisan Morcha in Sikar, Rajasthan, Tikait said, "This time the call will be for Parliament gherao. We will announce it and then march towards Delhi. This time 40 lakh tractors will be there instead of four lakh tractors."
Tikait said the protesting farmers would plough the parks near India Gate and grow crops there. Leaders of the United Front will decide the date to gherao the Parliament, he added.
He also said there was a conspiracy to malign the country's farmers on January 26, when violence had broken out in the national capital during their tractor parade.
"The farmers of the country love the tricolour, but not the leaders of this country," he said.
Tikait said farmers are openly challenging the government that if it does not repeal all three contentious agricultural laws and does not implement the MSP, then the farmers of the country will also demolish the godowns of big companies.
The United Front will also give a date for this soon, he said.
The mahapanchayat was also addressed by Swaraj movement leader Yogendra Yadav, National Vice President of All India Kisan Sabha Amra Ram, National General Secretary of Kisan Union, Chaudhary Yudhvir Singh and others.
Earlier on Tuesday, Tikait also addressed a farmers' gathering at Sardarshahar in Churu district.
