Jagjit Singh Dallewal Ends Hunger Strike, Vows to Continue Farmers’ Struggle

Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is leading the farmers’ movement in Punjab, has announced that the struggle will continue until the farmers’ demands are fulfilled. He also stated that he will participate in the talks with the Centre on May 4 and will strongly present farmers’ demands.

Notably, on Saturday, Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan had requested Dallewal to end his hunger strike. Responding to the appeal, Dallewal ended his fast unto death on Sunday, making the announcement from the holy land of Fatehgarh Sahib. He had been on a hunger strike since November 26 last year, demanding, among other things, a legal guarantee for the minimum support price (MSP).
