'Haven't said vacate throne; media next': Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait's warning

Farmer protests continued at Delhi's borders and other states.

Protesting farmers also paid homage to soldiers martyred in Pulwama.

On February 14, 2019, forty CRPF soldiers had died in Jammu and Kashmir in a terror attack.

Farmers held candle light vigil and raised slogans of 'jai Jawan Jai Kisan', 'vande mataram', 'bharat mata ki jai' and 'inquilab zindabad'.

Similar candle light march was organised in Punjab's Ludhiana.

The march was reportedly organised by Bharatiya Kisan Union.

Slogans critical of the Central government were heard at the Ludhiana march.

Meanwhile, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait addressed rally in Haryana's Karnal.

He said, “Both ‘kisan and jawan’ have only asked for law repeal so far.

We have not raised slogans for ‘gaddi wapsi’ (vacate the thrown).” Watch the full video for more.
