Indian Farmer Leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal's 40-Day Hunger Strike to Demand Reform

Credited from: BBC

  • Jagjit Singh Dallewal, a 70-year-old farmer leader, has been on an indefinite hunger strike for over 40 days, pressing the Indian government to address farmers' demands.
  • His health has significantly deteriorated; he is currently unable to speak and has refused medical assistance.
  • Farmers are seeking assurances on crop prices, debt waivers, and compensation for families of those who died in previous protests.
  • The current protests resemble previous agitations, with minimal changes in demands, yet the government's response appears more cautious this time.
  • In 2020, farmers protested extensively, leading to the repeal of controversial farm laws, but many of their other demands remain unfulfilled.
