Farmer Protest 2.0 | How Rahul Gandhi winning Farmer believe |The Truth about MSP | Modi v/s Farmers

The 2024 Indian farmers' protest is the second round of continuous protests and road blockades initiated by farmers in the northern states of Punjab and Haryana on 13 February 2024. The primary requests of the protests include securing legal assurance for the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for all crops and complete forgiveness of loans for all farmers. The farmers are protesting once more, alleging that the government has failed to fulfil the promises made in 2020–2021. They also blame the government for not attempting to double their incomes. Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) organized a statewide rural and industrial strike to show displeasure with the government. With tens of thousands of farmers marching towards Delhi with their thousands of tractors, the police sealed the borders and placed barricades to prevent the farmers from entering Delhi. Section 144 was imposed for a month, preventing the gathering of three or more people.[29] At the Shambu border between Haryana and Punjab, where thousands of farmers gathered, police used tear gas and rubber bullets, while drones flew overhead to drop tear gas on the protesting crowds. Barricades were also placed at the Gazipur and Tikri borders. Internet services were suspended in seven districts of Haryana.[28] The borders between Haryana and Delhi were also blocked. Not all the farmers that participated in the 2020 protests are part of this protest. A group of 250 farmers' unions, organized under the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (a non-political platform consisting of 150 unions) from Punjab, are leading the 2024 protest.

The march was paused as discussions were ongoing between the farmer's unions and the government ministers.

After again suspending their strike until the end of February after a young farmer died during the protests, the farmers resumed their march to the capital. The protest leaders alleged that dozens of farmers were detained during the march, forcing them to call it off. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) said in a statement that farmers moving towards Delhi had been stopped by police in some states. Reportedly, fifty farmers were taken into custody in Rajasthan on March 5, while others travelling to Delhi by train were also detained. The Rajasthan police denied detaining any farmers
