There may be concrete barricades and concertina wire to stop movement, but farmers at Ghazipur border are not giving up. After numbers started to dwindle on January 26 a cry for support by Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait saw a response the government may not have envisioned. Numbers started to increase, with farmers from Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, and Rajasthan converging.
Now political leaders of different parties are reaching out to show solidarity – perhaps a time like no other to gain support from people of different states from one stage. The photos taken are from when Shiv Sena’s MP Sanjay Raut reached the Ghazipur protest site on February 2.
It was buzzing with people trying to catch a glimpse of the MP during a time when lunch would be served and everyone would be drifting off, hoping their protest is heard and the three laws revoked.
Men in their mid-80s say they have never been part of such a long-drawn protest before, but will not leave, even if they die on this highway – which connects UP to the Capital city of India, Delhi. They are passionate about this protest, furious that their voices are not heard.
In the anger of their discussions, there is the unity of being wronged.
