'Will kill self but not end protest'

The Ghazipur protest site is tense after farmers refused to follow an ultimatum from the administration to leave by tonight. The administration said they are prepared to have the site vacated. BKU leader Rakesh Tikait said he'd rather kill himself than end the protest before the farm laws are scrapped. Meanwhile, around 70-100 locals from Bakhtawarpur and Hamidpur have assembled at Singhu border to protest against the farmers camping there. They are carrying banners and placards condemning the clashes on Republic Day. Earlier in the day, the Delhi police issued lookout notices against farmer leaders named in the FIRs filed over the violence at the Republic Day tractor parade in the city, Police chief S N Shrivastava said. The farmers will also be asked to surrender their passport, the police said.
