Samyukta Kisan Morcha meeting today to decide on future course of farmers’ protest
While no decision has been taken yet on calling off the farmers’ ongoing protest, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, which is spearheading the stir, will meet today to decide the future course of action.
Th members of the SKM, who met on Tuesday, also demanded clarification on certain points, in the government’s proposal, including on the precondition set for withdrawal of “fake” cases against farmers.
Farmer leaders said that they will meet again at 2 PM on Wednesday to discuss various issues. Kulwant Singh Sandhu, a prominent farmer leader, has claimed that a consensus has been arrived at and “nearly all demands” have been met.
However, the SKM said there was no consensus yet on ending the protest, which was triggered last year after the government enacted three farm laws.
