Farmers protesting today sounded thalis on the Delhi border as the prime minister addressed his “Mann Ki Baat” show.
New Delhi:
Farmers protesting against the Center’s new agricultural laws sounded thalis and raised slogans as Prime Minister Mann ki Baat’s monthly radio address aired this morning. The protest took place in Rohtak in Haryana, ruled by the BJP.
The idea of clanging the dishes and clapping was brought up by the Prime Minister earlier this year to congratulate the crown warriors when the shutdown began. In today’s Mann ki Baat, Prime Minister Modi also referred to him.
Referring to the letters people wrote to him, Prime Minister Modi said: “In most of the letters, people have praised the capabilities of the country and the collective strength of the compatriots. When a novel experiment like the curfew of Janta became an inspiration to the whole world, when the country congratulated our crown warrior joined Thali-taali, the applause and the clatter of dishes … people have also sent memories of that. “
The “Delhi-Chalo” protest by farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, has continued for more than a month. Thousands of farmers have been camping on the borders of Delhi, demanding that the farm laws, passed in September, be lifted.
