Farmers' Protest Outside Parliament Will Be Peaceful: Rakesh Tikait

The protest will be held between the scheduled dates of the monsoon session, which is said to commence on July 19 and conclude by August 13.

Ahead of the planned protest of the farmers outside Parliament on July 22, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Wednesday said the protest would be ''peaceful' despite the country witnessing violence on Republic Day when protestors reached Red Fort as a part of their 'tractor rally' protest. The protest will be held between the scheduled dates of the monsoon session, which is said to commence on July 19 and conclude by August 13. "It will be a peaceful protest. We will sit outside the Parliament while proceedings will continue in the House," Mr Tikait told ANI. He further said 200 people will go to the Parliament via bus. "We will pay the fare of the bus," added the BKU leader.
