Parliament on Monday passed the Farm Laws Repeal Bill, 2021 amid sloganeering by Opposition MPs.
In a snipe attack at the Modi-led government at the mahapanchayat at Mumbai's Azad Maidan, Tikait reminded that 'Republic day is not far' and that 4 lakh farmers are all at the borders.
The 'Kisaan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat' will be hosted by over 100 organisations under the banner of Samyukta Shetkari Kamgar Morcha (SSKM) and will be addressed by SKM leaders.
Calling the AIMIM leader an 'unbridled bull', Tikait alleged that Owaisi says something else but has some other goal. He added, "Don't let him go out of Hyderabad and Telangana."
Rakesh Tikait said that the government should accept farmers' demand for a law on the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Rakesh Tikait said it took almost one year to make the "government understand that that the farm laws will harm the farmers, workers and shopkeepers of the country".
Asaduddin Owaisi while addressing a public meeting in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki on Sunday demanded the repeal of CAA and NRC and warned that protestors will 'turn streets into Shaheen Bagh' if the two laws are not scrapped.
Tikait said that issues like cases against farmers, electricity bills, MSP guarantee need to be resolved before the conclusion of the agitation.
The Congress and Left parties have also demanded that a law should be enacted on the MSP guarantee while repealing the three laws from last year.
In his address to the nation on the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti, PM Narendra Modi said the three farm laws will be repealed in the coming Winter session of Parliament.
Rakesh Tikait also stressed that the government should talk to farmers over the issue of minimum support price (MSP) of crops and other matters.
Rakesh Tikait said a 'Kisan Mahapanchayat' will be held in Lucknow on November 22, four days ahead of the anti-farm law protest at Delhi borders completing one year.
Farmers have been protesting at different sites since November 26 last year against the three enacted farm laws. Farmer leaders and the Centre have held several rounds of talks but the impasse remains.
The Delhi Police on Thursday evening started removing the barricades and concertina wires it had put in place at the anti-farm laws protest site at Tikri Border on Delhi-Rohtak highway.
Earlier on Thursday, the Delhi Police had begun removing barricades placed at the Tikri and Ghazipur borders where farmers have been protesting against the Centre's three farm laws.
Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana and Western Uttar Pradesh have been agitating at three Delhi border points -- Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur -- since last November against the three farm laws. Over 10 rounds of talks between farmers and the government have failed to break the deadlock.
The body of Lakhbir Singh, who was killed by Nihangs, was found on Friday tied to a barricade at the Singhu border with a hand chopped off and multiple wounds caused by sharp-edged weapons.
Speaking on today's 'rail roko' protest, Rakesh Tikait said that such kind of events will keep taking place till government listens to them and arrest MoS Ajay Mishra, whose son is an accused in Lakhimpur Kheri violence incident.
Rakesh Tikait has said that Union Minister Home Ajay Mishra should be arrested for his role in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident.
On Friday, a corpse of a man, with hands and legs chopped off, was found hanging on a police barricade at the farmers' protest site near the Singhu border, said Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Hansraj.
