About Us

Pakistan Kisan Ittehad is not a planned association of farmers. It was a small movement and in a few months it became the largest farmers’ association in Pakistan. Now it is the voice of millions of small farmers and villagers. 75% of the total population of our country is dependent on agriculture. Agriculture is the backbone of the country. Production is declining day by day due to the negligence of the government.

There is no precedent in the history of Pakistan for small farmers to show unity and achieve their demand. The first step was to subsidize agricultural tube wells. This issue was raised due to heavy taxes like sales tax, MDI fix charges, FPA on electricity bills. The farmers decided to stop paying the bill. It takes 1 year to resolve this issue, we have held many protests, sit-ins, long marches with millions of members.

The PPP government issued and issued a notification dated March 7, 2013. Pass the sit-in on March 1 in Okara. But the PPP did not implement the notification, they deceived the farmers. During the caretaker government, the NAB arrested two farmers for tube well bills. Rizwan Iqbal (District President Pakpattan) and M. Saleem Marrut from Bahawalnagar District. Kisan Ittehad started protesting and marched towards Islamabad, caravans were stopped in Patoki and a Punjab government team led by Najam Sethi CM Punjab reached Patoki for talks. He released the arrested members of Kisan Ittehad and promised to implement the notification during his next meeting with the CM. But then the government betrayed us.

A meeting was held at the CM Secretariat in which Rana Sanaullah, Law Minister Dr. Farrukh Javed, Agriculture Minister, Chaudhry Sher Ittehad Minister with a delegation of Energy Farmers Union.
