Indian Farmer Leader Continues Hunger Strike for 40 Days, Demands Policy Reforms

In a determined stand against current agricultural policies, a prominent Indian farmer leader has been on a hunger strike for the past 40 days. The protest, aimed at drawing attention to the plight of farmers and demanding policy reforms, has garnered widespread support from agricultural communities and activists across the country.

The farmer leader, whose identity remains central to the ongoing agitation, initiated the hunger strike to press the government for immediate action on issues such as fair pricing for crops, debt relief, and improved support for small and marginal farmers. Despite mounting health concerns, the leader has vowed to continue the protest until their demands are met.

Various farmer unions and social organizations have rallied behind the strike, organizing demonstrations and solidarity events in multiple states. The prolonged hunger strike has intensified calls for dialogue between the government and farmers to address longstanding grievances.

As the strike enters its sixth week, pressure is mounting on the government to engage with the protesting farmers and find a resolution that ensures the welfare and sustainability of the agricultural sector.
