The agenda of the Mahapanchayat is to address this issue of oppression of these people. The aim is to bring all the farmers and labourers together. In the Mahapanchayat, the oppressed individuals will get united and will get reminded of oppressions they suffered. The farmers will demand for the MSP law.
