Dallewal Starts Hunger Strike, Police Intervene Amid Growing Tensions

Lucknow (The Uttam Hindu): Jagjit Singh Dallewal, the head of the Bharti Kisan Union Sidhupur, has announced that he will begin a fast unto death from today, 26th November, in support of the farmers' ongoing demands. The fast is part of a larger protest by the farmer leader to highlight issues related to farm laws, MSP (Minimum Support Price), and other agricultural concerns. However, before the hunger strike could begin, major news emerged that Dallewal was taken into police custody.

Sources reveal that the police intervened ahead of the hunger strike and have detained Dallewal. In a bid to prevent his health from deteriorating due to the fast, the authorities have reportedly admitted him to DMC Hospital for medical observation. This move has raised questions about the ongoing tensions between farmer leaders and the government, with Dallewal’s hunger strike intensifying calls for attention to farmers' demands.

The Bharti Kisan Union leader has been a vocal advocate for the rights of farmers and has been actively involved in various protests since the farm laws were passed. His planned fast was expected to draw significant attention to the ongoing struggles faced by farmers across India. The police action has further escalated the situation, with many viewing it as an attempt to suppress the farmers’ movement.

As the situation unfolds, political and social leaders are closely monitoring Dallewal's health and the larger implications of his protest.
