SKM meet tomorrow to decide on future agitation

December 03, 2021 21:35

A crucial meeting of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha will be held at the Singhu border on Saturday to decide on the future course of the agitation.

Farmer leaders said any decision on whether to send five names to the Centre for a panel on minimum support price will be taken in the meeting as they have not yet received any formal communication from the government.

The meeting will also ponder over pending demands of the protesting farmers which include legal guarantee on MSP of crops, withdrawal of cases against farmers, compensation to kin of farmers who lost their lives during the agitation.

"Our crucial meeting is tomorrow (Saturday) at 11 am. Along with discussing our pending demands, the SKM will decide future course of the movement. Since we have not yet got any formal communication from the Centre to submit names of five farmer leaders for a committee on MSP, we will decide in the meeting whether we have to send the names to them," SKM core committee member Darshan Pal said. -- PTI
