The Supreme Court will hear a plea seeking medical aid for farmers’ leader Dallewal on January 15. On December 12, 2024, Dallewal appealed to several religious leaders, urging them to press the Central government to meet the farmers’ demands. These demands include a legal assurance of a minimum support price (MSP) for crops. The plea highlights the ongoing struggle for farmers’ rights and welfare.
The Supreme Court of India adjourned the farmers’ protest hearing until January 10, 2025, pending a report from a committee meeting with protesting farmers. Concerns regarding the health of leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who is on a hunger strike, remain critical, with calls for medical intervention amid ongoing negotiations.
