The farmers' protest gained momentum as the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government firmly rejected the Centre's proposal to convert Bawana stadium into a makeshift jail, amidst heavy security measures at the Punjab-Haryana and Haryana-Delhi borders. Led by farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher, protesters likened the border fortifications to international boundaries, causing major traffic disruptions in Delhi. Dismissing Congress's support, Pandher emphasized the non-partisan nature of the movement, appealing to all citizens for solidarity. Meanwhile, Delhi government urged the Centre to engage in dialogue with farmers, acknowledging their grievances and advocating for peaceful resolution. Despite mounting tensions, Delhi continues to stand in solidarity with the farmers.
