After the farmers were granted permission to carry out their tractor parade on January 26, the Sanyukta Kisan Marcha (SKM), under whom the farmers' unions are agitating against the three contentious laws said, "We are about to make history. Never before in history have the people of this Republic been part of a parade of this nature on the Republic Day."
SKM added that through this parade they have to tell the country and the world about their plight. They have to bring forth the truth about the three Anti-Farmer Laws. They have to take care that this historical parade is not stained at any cost. Their victory lies in the parade being taken out in a very peaceful manner; without any unwanted events taking place.
It added that their aim is not to conquer Delhi, but to win over the hearts of the people of the county.
