Transcript

00:00 In Pakistan, farmers protested against the D.C. office for buying wheat.

00:05 The Pascopa farmers are accused of giving bribes to middlemen.

00:09 Our representative Imdad Hussain will tell us more about this.

00:12 The farmers have protested against the government's raid on the farmers for buying wheat.

00:19 The Farmer's Board has now become a public protest.

00:23 The farmers have protested.

00:25 I have with me the head of the Farmer's Board.

00:27 Today, we are a public protest across the country.

00:30 Our basic demand is that the price of wheat should be set at Rs. 5000 instead of Rs. 4900.

00:36 The government has set a price.

00:38 Our government is not buying wheat on that.

00:40 Instead of giving bribes to the farmers, the middlemen and the RTIs are being given their share.

00:45 We need to immediately get bribes.

00:48 If the government does not accept our demands,

00:51 we will call the Punjab Assembly on the 29th and all the farmers across the country will come there.

00:57 As you can see, they are saying that instead of the farmers, the middlemen are being sold.

01:03 The middlemen are being killed by the farmers.

01:06 They say that if the government does not accept their demands immediately,

01:10 they will give a bribe to the Punjab Assembly on the 29th.
