Thousands of farmers to protest in Delhi demanding ‘freedom from debt’

Thousands of farmers representing 180 organisations from across the nation will on Monday hit the streets of New Delhi demanding minimum support price and freedom from debt, reports said.

Joining hands under the banner of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC), the farmers will gather at the Ramlila Maidan in the heart of the national capital and take out a protest march to Parliament Street.

The main demand of the farmers is full remunerative prices as a legal entitlement with correct cost estimations and at least a 50 per cent profit margin over the cost of production, President of the AIKSCC had said.
