Groups of farmers from Uttar Pradesh arrived at the Ghazipur protest site at the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border on Thursday in pushback against the administration’s order to vacate the site, after Bharatiya Kisan Union Spokesperson Rakesh Tikait tearfully declared that he would rather die by suicide than end the agitation, India Today reported.
Heavy security had been deployed at the site in view of the violence at the farmers’ Republic Day tractor rally. However, on Thursday the Ghaziabad district magistrate gave an ultimatum to the farmers to leave the site by midnight.
Tikait made an emotional appeal to his supporters at the protest site and declared that the protest against the farming laws will continue. The BKU leader added that he will ask more people to join the protest if required.
Later, he broke down in tears while speaking to the media. “We will not leave the site,” Tikait said. “We will face bullets, but not leave the protest. There is a conspiracy to end this agitation, but it will not end. They want to destroy the farmers.”
