BKU-led farmers set to reach Rajghat
Ghaziabad, Oct 1 : Thousands of farmers from Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh are set to reach Rajghat in Delhi to press the central government to concede their demands, the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) said on Monday.
The BKU-led 'Kranti Yatra', which started from Haridwar in Uttarakhand, has reached Ghaziabad and farmer leader Naresh Tikait said the farmers were determined to enter Delhi.
Earlier, the farmers were to spend Monday night in Ghaziabad for which the district administration had made arrangements at the Kamla Nehru Nagar ground.
In view of the heavy inflow of farmers, the administration has diverted public transport on National Highway 58.
The farmers spent Sunday night in Murad Nagar near the upper Ganga canal.
Tikait told reporters that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) grabbed power in 2014 by misleading farmers that their income would be doubled. Believing the party, the farmers voted for them.
"But after grabbing power in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh, the BJP has forgotten its promises. So we have come to remind them their promises," he said.
A memorandum to be submitted to the Centre includes 21 demands including implementation of the M.S. Swaminathan Commission report, waiver of farm loan, free electricity to farmers and allowing power connections to farmers to run tube wells.
Tikait said the farmers plan to reach Rajghat on Monday night or Tuesday morning "where we will pay tributes to Chaudhary Charan Singh, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi and Babu Jagjivan Ram.
"Over one lakh farmers are expected to reach Rajghat although Delhi Police have sealed all entry points... We appeal to the government not to deprive us of our basic fundamental rights to pay tributes to our leaders."
Ghaziabad Senior Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Krishna said security arrangements had been tightened and nine companies of paramilitary forces had been deployed in Ghaziabad.

Sushant Sinha’s YouTube thumbnail falsely portrays Punjab IPS officer as terrorist Ghazi Baba
New Delhi: In a now-deleted YouTube video, journalist Sushant Sinha’s interview with former Border Security Force (BSF) officer NN Dubey sparked controversy over a misleading thumbnail. The video discussed Ghazi Baba, a blacklisted terrorist affiliated with Jaish-e-Mohammed and Harkat-ul-Ansar, who was killed during a BSF operation in Srinagar in August 2003.
However, the video’s thumbnail mistakenly depicted Punjab Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) and Indian Police Service (IPS) officer Faiyyaz Farooqui between notorious terrorists Masood Azhar and Osama bin Laden. The image even featured a bullet mark on Farooqui’s forehead, falsely implying he had been shot dead.
Although the video was removed before the time of this report’s publication, neither Sushant Sinha nor his team have issued an official acknowledgment or apology for the serious error.
So, Godi Journalist @SushantBSinha in his recent youtube video has falsely depicted Punjab ADGP IPS officer Faiyyaz Farooqui as a 'terrorist' by using his image to represent Ghazi Baba, the terrorist behind the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, who was killed by BSF in 2003. pic.twitter.com/r75jUz6Bpt
