Do it in Parliament, guarantee MSP: Tikait on PM's farm laws repeal promise
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Friday said the ongoing anti-farm laws protest will be withdrawn only after the three contentious legislations are repealed in Parliament and legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP) for crops made.
The influential farmer leader from western Uttar Pradesh also asked supporters not to engage in celebrations as their "struggle" will continue.
Tikait, who was in Maharashtra's Palghar for an event on Friday, took to Twitter soon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced repealing the three farm laws, which were at the centre of the farmers' protest since November 26 last year.
