Furthermore, they appealed to release the farmers who were jailed. The other demand is that the Haryana government should give place for the memorial of martyred farmers.

On the other hand, the Centre on Wednesday said that it has no record of farmers who died during the agitation against the farm laws.

In its response to a question on whether it proposes to provide financial assistance to the kin of farmers who died during the agitation, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare replied in the Parliament that it has "no record in the matter and hence the question does not arise."

On the third day of the winter session, the Leader of Congress Party in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury had raised the issue of the death of farmers during the protest against farm laws.
