Farmers arrived on tractors to surround Parliament, know where the protest took place; what is their demand

London Farmers Protest: You must have seen a lot of pictures of farmers’ protests in India, but now farmers have come out on the streets in another country. Tractors suddenly started running on the shiny and beautiful roads of London on Wednesday. People were surprised to see hundreds of tractors. Eventually, after some time, it was known that this is not a tractor race but troubled farmers who are protesting against including agricultural families in ‘inheritance tax’. 

Farms will be destroyed

During the protest, farmers took out a tractor march on the streets of Central London , closed the roads and demanded from the government that farmer families should not be included in inheritance tax. Farmers are demanding exemption from this tax. Farmers say that this will destroy family farms and food production will decrease. 

Parliament House road blocked

To put pressure on the government, farmers had also blocked the Parliament House road with tractors. Farmers were also seen standing outside the Parliament with placards. It was written on these placards, “No farmers, no food, no future.”

 

The income of farmers has decreased

Farmers say that their income has decreased in the last few years. In October this year, the government said that tax will be levied on farmers’ land from the year 2026. After this, protests started in different parts of the country. There was a massive protest in London in November, not only this, more than 13 thousand farmers gathered on the streets in Westminster.
