New Delhi: On the one-year anniversary of farmers' protests against agricultural laws, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal stated on Friday that the country's farmers had taught us all how to fight for our rights with patience.

Kejriwal on his official Twitter handle writes, "Today, the farmers' agitation has completed one year. This historical agitation faced many conspiracies along with heat-cold and rain-storm. The farmer of the country taught us all that how to fight for the right with patience. I salute the courage, courage, spirit and sacrifice of the farmer brothers."

आज किसान आंदोलन को पूरा एक साल हो गया है। इस ऐतिहासिक आंदोलन ने गर्मी-सर्दी, बरसात-तूफ़ान के साथ अनेक साज़िशों का भी सामना किया।

देश के किसान ने हम सबको सिखा दिया कि धैर्य के साथ हक़ की लड़ाई कैसे लड़ी जाती है। किसान भाइयों के हौसले, साहस, जज़्बे और बलिदान को मैं सलाम करता हूँ।

Since November 26, 2020, farmers have been protesting against farm rules on Delhi's various border areas.

Meanwhile, to commemorate the first anniversary of the farmers' movement, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella organisation of farmer unions, has organised protests around the country.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared last week that the Centre will introduce appropriate measures to abolish the farm rules during the winter session of Parliament, which begins later this month.

The Prime Minister also stated that the administration will form a committee to work on a new Minimum Support Price framework (MSP).

Meanwhile, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait said that 60 tractors will march to Parliament in the national capital on November 29 as part of a tractor march to demand, among other things, a legislative guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for crops.
