Over 6,000 farmers from across 21 districts in Maharashtra, India arrived in Mumbai in a convoy of 500 vehicles to begin their three-day sit-in at Azad Maidan in solidarity with protesting farmers at the Delhi border.
Senior leaders including NCP chief Sharad Pawar will be addressing the gathering on Monday. The farmers have gathered under the banner of All India Kisan Sabha’s (AIKS) Maharashtra unit.
The rally is part of the call given by Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), which is leading the Delhi protests, to intensify and broaden the struggle from January 23 to 26. More farmers are expected to join the gathering on Monday.
The rally will be addressed by political leaders, including NCP chief Sharad Pawar at Azad Maidan, and in the afternoon the entire contingent will march to Raj Bhavan to meet the governor and hand him a memorandum against the new farm laws.
