Farmer leader Jagjeet Singh Dallewal's fast-unto-death entered its 18th day on Friday, as farmers are set to resume their foot march to Delhi on December 14. The protest march being led by Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha was called off earlier after clash with the Haryana Police. Farmer Sarwan Singh Pandher confirmed the group of 101 farmers will march peacefully from the Shambhu border on Saturday."We are receiving information from Khanauri that Jagjit Singh Dallewal is not keeping well. The whole country is worried about his health except for the PM and Home Minister," Pandher said, according to ANI. He added, "Neither are they worried about our Delhi March nor are they worried about what's happening in Khanauri... We believe that forming a committee is not a solution to our problem. If the government wants to arrive at a solution, they must arrange talks with us."The march comes after farmers suspended their previous attempt on Sunday due to injuries caused by tear gas shelling by Haryana security personnel and concerns over Dallewal's health.Samyukta Kisan Morcha leader Rakesh Tikait met Dallewal on Friday, urging unity among farmer groups. "Dallewal ji is our big leader, and we are worried about his health. Farmers of the entire country are worried," Tikait said, calling on the government to address the issue urgently.He warned of intensified protests if the government continues to ignore their demands. "The agitation (against now repealed farm laws) ran for 13 months at Delhi's borders... the government once again needs 4 lakh tractors. The agitation this time will be on KMP; we will have to make KMP the borders. When Delhi will be surrounded, it will be from KMP. When and how that will happen, we will see," Tikait stated.Farmers have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13, after security forces stopped their march to Delhi.The farmers' demands include a legal guarantee for minimum support prices (MSP), debt waivers, pensions for farmers and farm laborers, no hike in electricity tariffs, withdrawal of police cases, and justice for victims of the 2021 Lakhimpur Kheri violence.Dallewal's health condition remains critical, adding urgency to the farmers' calls for government talks. Tikait said, "It does not seem that Dallewal will take back his fast-unto-death till the time the government does not hold talks and meets their demands."
