The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), along with Central trade unions, will celebrate 400th birth anniversary of the ninth Sikh master, Guru Tegh Bahadur, at Singhu and Tikri borders on Friday.
The decision was taken at a meeting of 32 farm organisations at the Singhu border today.
Later, Dr Darshan Pal, an SKM leader, said the meeting resolved that the farmers’ protest would continue with force.
In Rohtak, the All-India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) and Khet Mazdoor Union (KMU) announced that it would observe Labour Day on May 1 jointly to strengthen the farmer-labourer unity.
Sumit of the AIKS, Jai Bhagwan of the CITU’s and Ram Kumar Bahbalpuria of the KMU have appealed to workers, farmers and other sections to assemble at the Delhi borders and toll plazas on May 1 in a show of strength.
“We have given a call to our respective units across the state to join hands with other outfits and flag the three farm laws, amendment to labour laws, legal guarantee on the MSP and privatisation,” said Sumit.
