It will become the world’s longest-running protest today, nine months after the farmers’ agitation in support of their demands on the borders of Delhi completed nine months. It has been nine months since the farmers’ agitation against the three agricultural laws.
There has been a standoff between the farmers and the central government since the last talks on January 22On January 26, the movement which broke down due to the ruckus during the tractor parade, was raised again after the passionate appeal of the farmers leaders, but now despite the passage of time, the movement is getting longer due to non-opening of the way for talks with the government.
The government did not take any initiative for talks. Now the United Kisan Morcha will organize an All India convention on the Kundli border on 26 and 27 August, in which a blueprint will be prepared to give a new direction and condition to the movement.
Thousands of farmers marched from Punjab to Delhi to protest against the three new agricultural laws.

On 26 November-2020, thousands of security forces deployed barricading on the Kundli border prevented the farmers from entering Delhi. Thousands of farmers have since then made a halt in the middle of National Highway-44 in Kundli area due to no way forward.
At that time no one anticipated that Kundli would become the main protest site of the farmers’ movement on the border. Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Western Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and surrounding areas started reaching the Kundli border, after which the dharna is going on from here.
Due to the continuous support to the farmers, the central government had called farmers organizations for talks on December 1, 2020 at Vigyan Bhawan in Delhi due to pressure.
But the talks between Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar and the farmers for hours went in vain. After that, 11 rounds of talks were held one by one, but there was no consensus between the two sides. There has been a standoff between the two sides since January 22.
