Most SKM members were so far avoiding protests by Dallewal & Sarwan Singh Pandher's Kisan Mazdoor Morcha. Move comes after SKM concluded ‘lack of unity was hurting talks with Centre’.
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.
The Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Dakaunda) is currently facing an internal rebellion. But SKM, the farmer coalition which includes the outfit, says it won’t affect the larger cause.
Top leaders like Rajewal and Bhangu fare poorly. Their allies in farmers’ agitation who were against the political move distance themselves. SKM calls for meeting on 14 March.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
