Jagjit Singh Dallewal
Jagjit Singh Dallewal is the convenor of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political). He has been on an indefinite hunger strike at the Khanauri border point between Punjab and Haryana since 26 November 2024 last year over farmers' various demands including seeking a legal guarantee on the MSP for crops.
He has refused to take any medical aid during the prolonged fasting period, resulting in the deterioration of his health condition.
Doctors attending to Dallewal earlier said his condition was "deteriorating" because of the prolonged fasting.
Farmers, under the banner of SKM (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, have been camping at the Shambhu and Khanauri border points between Punjab and Haryana since February 13, 2024 after their march to Delhi was halted by security forces.
