As per news report of The Indian Express, the mahapanchayat was held against the backdrop of a call by BKU’s Rakesh Tikait to mobilise support for the farmer agitation; a similar one was held last week in Muzaffarnagar, which too saw roughly 10,000 people in attendance. A call for another such mahapanchayat, in Amroha, has been made for Sunday.
