Farmers leaders on Wednesday put the 'Delhi Chalo' march on hold for two days after a protester was reportedly killed and about 12 police personnel injured in clashes at Khanauri, one of the two protest sites on the Punjab-Haryana border. Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher said they will decide the next course of action on Friday evening.
Farmer leaders have rejected the Centre's proposal of procuring pulses, maize, and cotton at minimum support price (MSP) by government agencies for five years, saying it was not in farmers' interest and announced that they will march towards the national capital today.
Protesting farmers from Punjab have been camping at Shambhu and Khanauri points on the state's border with Haryana since February 13 when their 'Delhi Chalo' march was halted by police. The call for the march was given by SKM (Non-Political), a splinter group of the SKM, and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha to press farmers' demands.

'Protesters pelted stones at police': Haryana Police Spokesperson Manisha Chaudhary
“At Data Singh-Khanauri border, protesters surrounded police personnel and set stubble on fire with chilli powder in it. They also pelted stones at police and attacked policemen using sticks and maces. As many as 12 police personnel have suffered serious injuries in this attack. We appeal to protesters to maintain peace and help maintain law and order in the region. This is dangerous for both sides and can result in unforeseen circumstances,” Chaudhary said on alleged scuffle between protesting farmers and Haryana Police.

Congress leader Priyank Kharge says, "The central government does not care about the farmers. Just giving Dr MS Swaminathan Bharat Ratna does not mean that they have solved the problems of the farmers. The farmers have welcomed the decision of the Bharat Ratna, but are demanding that the recommendations of Dr. Swaminathan be implemented in letter and spirit. And the government has not even bothered talking to them. The PM has enough time to congratulate celebrities, He has enough time for 'Mann ki Baat' but does not have the time to listen to 'Kisan ki Baat'. The way they have put up blockades on the borders of Delhi goes to show that the government is not willing to farmers and resolve their issues."
