Farmers Uninterrupted

To observe one year of the anti-farm law agitation, some 500 farmers will participate in peaceful tractor marches to Parliament every day during the Winter Session starting November 29.

SKM welcomed the prime minister’s decision to repeal the three farm laws but said they will wait for the announcement to take effect through due parliamentary procedures. It also indicated that its agitation for a statutory guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) and demand for the withdrawal of the Electricity Amendment Bill will continue.

“Our call of tractor march to Parliament still stands. A final decision on the future course of the agitation and MSP issues will be taken at a meeting of the SKM at Singhu Border on Sunday,” farmer leader and SKM core committee member Darshan Pal said on Saturday. -(PTI)

"Farmers cannot trust the Centre on farm laws as earlier too they had announced to give one rank one pension (OROP) but it is yet to be done… So, we have decided not to leave the site till these laws are formally repealed in Parliament. Mobilisation of farmers on Delhi borders on November 26 to mark the first anniversary of the agitation will continue," -Sudesh Goyat, farmer leader at Tikri Border and SKM member.

Farmer leader and president of Bharati- ya Kisan Union (Ugrahan) Joginder Singh Ugrahan said at the Tikri border point that the trac- tor march has not yet been withdrawn. “The SKM will decide on the call for tractor trolly march to Parliament. So far, there is no call to withdraw it. A decision on this is likely to be taken on Sunday after the SKM’s core commit- tee meeting,” he said.
