Dallewal has Not Ended Indefinite Fast: Farmer Leader Kohar
In a surprising turn of events, farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal has not ended his indefinite fast, claims Abhimanyu Kohar, a close aide and fellow farmer leader. This declaration comes after the Punjab government informed the Supreme Court on Friday that Dallewal had ended his fast by accepting water.
According to Kohar, Dallewal only drank water after the farmer leaders who were detained by police from Khanauri and Shambhu borders were released. This move was seen as a humanitarian gesture by the Punjab government, which led many to believe that Dallewal had indeed ended his fast.
However, Kohar’s statement raises questions about the true status of Dallewal’s fast. It is unclear whether the farmer leader has indeed ended his fast or if he is still continuing his protest. The Punjab government’s statement to the Supreme Court has also been called into question, as it seems to contradict Kohar’s claims.
The controversy surrounding Dallewal’s fast began earlier this month when he announced that he would be undertaking an indefinite fast to protest against the government’s policies and to demand justice for the farmers. The fast was seen as a powerful symbol of the farmers’ struggle and drew widespread attention from across the country.
As the days passed, Dallewal’s health began to deteriorate, and concerns were raised about his well-being. The Punjab government eventually intervened, releasing the detained farmer leaders and allowing Dallewal to drink water. It was this move that led the government to inform the Supreme Court that Dallewal had ended his fast.
However, Kohar’s statement suggests that the situation may not be as clear-cut as initially thought. According to Kohar, Dallewal’s decision to drink water was not a sign of surrender, but rather a gesture of solidarity with the detained farmer leaders. Kohar claimed that Dallewal’s fast continues, and that the farmer leader is still protesting against the government’s policies.
The implications of Kohar’s statement are significant. If Dallewal’s fast has not ended, it could raise questions about the government’s commitment to addressing the farmers’ concerns. It could also put pressure on the government to take further action to address the farmers’ demands.
The controversy surrounding Dallewal’s fast is just the latest development in a long-standing conflict between the farmers and the government. The farmers have been protesting against the government’s policies for months, demanding better prices for their crops and an end to the use of genetically modified seeds.
The Punjab government has faced widespread criticism for its handling of the situation, with many accusing it of being slow to respond to the farmers’ demands. The government has argued that it is doing its best to address the farmers’ concerns, but that the situation is complex and requires careful consideration.
The Supreme Court has also been involved in the controversy, with the court issuing several orders aimed at resolving the situation. The court has called for the government to take immediate action to address the farmers’ demands, and has also ordered the government to release the detained farmer leaders.
In the end, the true status of Dallewal’s fast remains unclear. While the Punjab government claims that he has ended his fast, Kohar’s statement suggests that the situation is more complex. Regardless of the outcome, the controversy surrounding Dallewal’s fast highlights the ongoing struggle between the farmers and the government, and the need for a resolution to this long-standing conflict.
