However, he stated that he would continue leading the farmers’ movement with renewed strength.
Addressing a ‘Kisan Mahapanchayat’ organised at Sirhind in Fatehgarh Sahib district, Dallewal, chief of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political), said, “You (farmers) all have asked me to end the fast unto death. I am indebted to you for taking care of the agitation. I respect your sentiments, I accept your order.”
“Even as I wanted to continue with the fast till all the 12 demands are met, but as more and more demands were pouring in asking me to visit various states to mobilise farmers for national level struggle for bigger issues concerning farming, going by those appeals and aiming to reach out to farmers from across the country, I decided to accept those appeals,” he added.
