New Delhi: With the surge in coronavirus cases all over the country, the threat of the pandemic looms large over the hundreds of farmers sitting on protest at various borders of the national capital since the last four months. Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) Spokesperson Rakesh Tikait has clearly said the farmers' stir will not end even if a lockdown is imposed across the country.
