Farmers arrive in Delhi with two demands: Loan waiver, better prices for crops | The Indian Express

Sari-clad women, whose husbands committed suicide due to the agrarian distress, place themselves on the first row. On the stage are farmer leaders from 180 organisations, addressing enough farmers to fill a football field. Holding banners, flags and posters with different languages, they chant slogans such as ‘Kisan mar rahe hain, sashak so raha hai’ and ‘Garv se kaho hum kisan hain’, and ‘Provide 50% subsidy on diesel, save farmers’.

Farmers, from different parts of the country, Monday assembled under the banner of the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC), which is demanding a one-time farm debt waiver and remunerative prices for their produce.
