On Tuesday, Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait asked the media houses to join the farmers' movement, warning that they are the "next target" of the Centre.
Tikait, who was in Chhattisgarh's Gariaband district to address a 'Kisan mahapanchayat' in Rajim today said, "Everyone should join us. The next target will be media houses, if you want to be saved then join us, else you will also suffer."
"We will raise the issues of the farmers from Chhattisgarh. The biggest problem is of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) in the country and we will raise this issue," the BKU leader said.
The farmer leader also said that the farm unions will discuss how vegetable farmers of Chhattisgarh can be more benefitted during the mahapanchayat and what policies need to be made for them.
Even though, the 'Bharat Bandh' on Monday called on by several farmer unions was a "flop", Rakesh Tikait had termed it a "success" and claimed that the people supported the shutdown in large numbers.
Centre and the farmer union have had several rounds of talks in the past regarding the three newly passed farm laws, but the knots of disagreement remain as it is.
