Prior to the 7 round of negotiations between the central government and agitating farmer unions, veteran actor and former MP Dharmendra on Monday said he prays with all his heart that the farmers protesting against the three farm laws get justice today. "I hope today my farmer brothers get justice. I pray with all my heart. Every noble soul will get relief," Dharmendra, 84, wrote in Hindi on Twitter.
Braving the cold and rain, thousands of farmers, particularly from Punjab and Haryana, are agitating at various borders of New Delhi for over a month against the new Agri legislations.
This is not the first time the Veteran actor has spoken up in the wake of the farmer's crisis. In December, Dharmendra urged the Centre to find a solution to the protests over the farm laws.
On Sunday evening, Haryana Police fired teargas canisters to thwart a march of a group of agitating farmers towards Delhi at Masani barrage in Rewari district. Farmers first broke police barricades put up near Bhudla Sangwari village and then started moving towards Delhi in the evening. A large number of farmers from Rajasthan, Haryana and some other places have been protesting on the Jaipur-Delhi highway for the past several days.
