[Applause]
for days farmers have been protesting
here
at the delhi singu border and thousands
as you can see have gathered here
now today they're calling on the rest of
india to join them in a national
strike
farmer will become helpless right the
whole control of the farming will go
into the big corporates hands
most of the people's livelihood in this
country is based on the agriculture
that's why people are scared that if
they will control this food market
where they will buy our crop at whatever
the
price they want and they will sell at
whatever price they want
the government says that these new farm
laws will actually open up
opportunities to talk to people here
protesting
and they disagree now one of their big
concerns is over pricing
at the moment farmers generally sell
their crops
via wholesale markets which are
controlled by the government and where
they're offered
guaranteed prices the msp the minimum
support price
now with the markets opening up and
farmers able to sell directly to big
businesses
there's a concern that those guaranteed
prices will in the long run
end up going away and so will the
farmers profits
the corporates will come they'll pay
whatever they want to pay not the thing
the farmer wants to sell on
how do you feel about the future for
farming in india then
very scary not just for me for those
farmers
under 10 acres they'll die
well the protesters have been here for
nearly two weeks they've kind of set up
a camp and a community here they're
giving out tea
and biscuits here for the morning and if
you just come with me through the crowds
at the safe distance
you can see here as well they're giving
out
supplies toothbrushes two space soaps
so you're sleeping in the cold yes we
are sleeping in the corner
how are you finding the cold oh we have
to bear the spin
for the cars the cars we are fighting
well so far talks between the farmers
and the government
seem to have failed to reach any sort of
agreement and it looks like
people here are going to be here for the
long haul they've set up
community kitchen here people here
cleaning the dishes and
some people are staying on the back of
their trucks
making them they're temporary homes
hello
whether it takes four years or more
we're here to stay
