Samyukta Kisan Morcha announce programmes to mobilise farmers across country, demands resignation of Amit Shah, Manohar Lal Khattar & Anil Vij for death of farmer at Khanauri border.
Protest leaders say ministers told them offer of legal guarantee of MSP for 5 crops was for all farmers but it later emerged that it was only for those who shifted from paddy cultivation.
Centre has offered to guarantee that its agencies will buy cotton, corn & certain pulses at MSP for 5 years. SKM says govt silent on formula to calculate MSP & farmers’ other demands.
Leaders of Haryana-based farmers’ outfits while claiming they weren’t consulted over call for ‘Delhi Chalo’ condemned use of force by Haryana police against agitating farmers.
The SKM however criticised Haryana govt for its unprecedented arrangements to stop agitators. It said its unity had taken a drubbing after the 2021 protests, but it is not 'divided'.
Farm leaders like Gurnam Singh Chaduni say agitations and political activities can go hand in hand, but other Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) say politicking farmers will be shown “black flags”.
PM Modi's decision to repeal contentious farm laws is being seen as a historic victory for Samyukta Kisan Morcha, umbrella body of farmers' unions leading the protest.
China patiently invested capital, skill and technology in coal gasification. Unlike it, we won’t move from words to action. As crude prices decline, we lose interest.
