Karnal, October 26

The movement against the Centre’s three farm laws at the Delhi borders completed eleven months on Tuesday.

Protest over kheri incident

On the SKM call, farmers under the BKU on Monday staged dharnas outside the mini-secretariats in Karnal and Kaithal, seeking action against MoS Ajay Mishra Teni in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident. They handed over memorandums to the district officials for the President.

During these months, farmers had been protesting across the country, demanding the repeal of the three laws along with a law that guarantees MSP, the SKM leaders said in a joint statement.

They said the historic farmers’ movement running in India since November 26, 2020, at the Delhi borders had completed eleven months. “Farmers have been demanding that their livelihoods be protected from ‘corporate loot’ in unregulated markets,” they added.

The farm leaders reiterated that they won’t go home until their demands were fulfilled.

Meanwhile, the SKM leaders said the Monday protest call received a good response across the country. — TNS
