Jagjit Singh Dallewal should end his fast and press for talks on farmers’ demands

The sit-in protest that began almost a year ago by a group of farmers owing allegiance (loyalty) to the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (Non Political) at the Punjab-Haryana border has taken a new turn with their leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal refusing to end his indefinite (without limit) fast, that started on November 26. The stand of the 70-year-old leader, a cancer patient, has drawn the attention of the Supreme Court. Farmers in the State, across their organisational (relating to organization) and political positions, supported a Punjab bandh (a stoppage or strike) on December 30, 2024, in solidarity (unity in support) with Mr. Dallewal. The Court has allowed the Punjab government time till Thursday (January 2, 2024) to ensure that Mr. Dallewal gets medical aid. The farmers’ outfits have told the Court that their leader would accept medical help only if the Union Government held a discussion with them on their demands such as implementing a legalised Minimum Support Price as per the formula of the National Commission on Farmers (constituted (formed) by M.S. Swaminathan), a debt waiver for all farmers and the withdrawal of all cases against farmers for protesting against the three farm laws, which were repealed in 2021. Major farmers’ organisations in the State, including the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta-Ugrahan) and the All India Kisan Sabha, have urged the Centre and State governments to address the demands so that Mr. Dallewal ends his fast. Several Opposition parties had also demanded that the Centre start a dialogue with farmers.

It is debatable (open to question) how helpful the Court’s ultimatum (final demand) is in situations such as these when policy, law and order and politics are all intertwined (connected) . Perhaps, the courts should not be so interfering and governments should be more proactive and preemptive (acting before something happens) in dealing with such flare-ups. The demands on the table have been pending for long, and the crisis in agriculture is multifaceted (having many aspects). But allowing these permanent sit-in protests is problematic when someone goes on a fast unto death because there is no way to know if he is being forced to starve to death or not allowed to end the fast. Many of the farmers’ leaders have met Mr. Dallewal requesting him to end his hunger strike. However, such requests have been turned down with his supporters labelling (describing negatively) other farmers’ leaders as agents of the government. Sane (reasonable) voices among the farmers have been maintaining that Mr. Dallewal should join the joint protests rather than adopting his fast unto death protest. The Punjab and Haryana governments and the Union Government must ensure that his life is not in danger. Mr. Dallewal and his associates should heed (pay attention to) the advice of other farmers’ leaders and clear the apprehensions (fears) that he is under pressure to continue with the hunger strike.
