In the midst of the current Delhi Chalo farmer's march, the British Parliament voiced worry on Thursday on Shubhakaran Singh's death near the Khanauri border. Farmers should have "freedom of expression," according to Sikh MP for Britain Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi.

"Several of my Slough constituents, including those who belong to the Sikh community and Gurdwaras, produced to me about their serious concerns concerning the safety of protesting farmers as they prepare to march towards New Delhi," the Dhesi MP said in his speech to the legislature.

"A protester died yesterday after an alleged confrontation with the police, and Singh informed the House that the cause of death was a gunshot wound to the head.

The health minister for Punjab has acknowledged that another youngster was shot. Thankfully, however, he lived while the other thirteen were receiving medical attention in hospitals."

He also brought up the directives from the Indian government to halt postings and accounts on X (formerly Twitter) that had anything to do with the demonstrations by farmers.

Additionally, according to a BBC story today, Ax acknowledged that he was coerced into removing the rightful postings and accounts of activists against his choice. Does the Speaker of the House agree with me that the right to free speech, the security of protestors, and their human rights must all be upheld?

The representative from the United Kingdom inquired, "And what representation has the government addressed to its Indian counterpart to this effect?"

Reactions to the death of a 21-year-old farmer on Wednesday coincided with demonstrators continuing their 'Delhi Chalo' march because they did not agree with the Center's five-year plan for minimum support price (MSP).

In the fourth round of negotiations between the two parties, the government offered a plan to end the impasse, but farmer leaders rejected it. On February 8, 12, 16, and 18, farmer leaders and three Union ministers met, but the discussions ended without a resolution.

Who was the farmer leader Shubhakaran Singh, who passed away during the Delhi Chalo March?

A fight broke out between protesting farmers and security forces at Khanauri, on the Punjab-Haryana border, resulting in the death of Shubhakaran Singh, a farmer from Baloke village in Punjab's Bathinda district, and other injuries.

Two sisters, a grandmother, and his father Charanjit Singh, a school van driver, survive him. Shubhakaran had some animals and had around three acres of land in addition to his involvement in animal husbandry.

On February 13, the day the farmers began their protests with their ten demands, Shubhakaran joined the farmers at the Khanauri border.

At the protest location close to the Punjab-Haryana border, Shubhakaran had made breakfast for himself and the other farmers the day before. "They will not get another chance to share food or sit together," Shubhakaran allegedly remarked as he requested them to eat breakfast together.

The social media platform has emphasized its commitment to freedom of speech while expressing dissatisfaction with the directives from the Indian government.

X's official Global Government Affairs account posted on the microblogging site, saying, "The Government of India has issued executive orders directing X to take action on specific accounts as well as posts, with potential penalties including serious penalties and imprisonment."

It stated, "We disagree with these actions and believe that an existence of expression should extend to these posts. Yet, we will block these accounts including posts in India only in compliance with the orders."
