Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's tractor rally, as part of party's 'Kheti Bachao Yatra', from Nurpur in Patiala, Punjab was stopped at Haryana border on Tuesday.

Rahul Gandhi, who is in Punjab to protest against new farm laws tweeted,"I am not moving and am happy to wait here. 1 hour, 5 hours, 24 hours, 100 hours, 1000 hours or 5000 hours..As many hours as it takes, I will not move."

Punjab CM Captain Amarinder Singh and party's state chief Sunil Jakhar also participated in tractor yatra in Noorpur Faranswala in Patiala as part of party's 'Kheti Bachao Yatra'.

Rahul Gandhi launched the three-day tractor rally on Sunday said that if the farm lawas are implemented, then farmers and labourers will become the "slaves" of a few corporates.

Haryana's BJP government soon told the group that only 100 people could enter. Three tractors, including Rahul Gandhi's, were allowed to go through. Top Congress leaders from Punjab, travelling with Rahul Gandhi until that point, turned back.
