Calling Dallewal a “diamond of the farmers,” leaders underlined his dedication to the farming community and urged the central government to meet their demands promptly.
Among their primary concerns is a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP) on crops, along with 12 other demands.

Leaders stated that if their demands are addressed, farmers will peacefully return to their homes.
Dallewal’s prolonged hunger strike highlights the growing frustration among farmers over unresolved issues with the government. As his condition becomes critical, pressure on the central government to act continues to build.
