Samyukta Kisan Morcha holds mahapanchayat in Jind

Hisar, March 10

As the farmers’ agitation completed 105 days, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) organised a ‘Kisan Mazdoor Ekta Mahapanchayat’ at Alewa in Jind today.

The meeting was attended by the All-India Kisan Sabha national president Ashok Dhawale, BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) president Joginder Singh Ugrahan, CITU Haryana state president Surekha, AIKS Haryana state president Phool Singh Sheokand and other leaders.

Lashing out at the Centre, the speakers alleged that there was a corrupt nexus between the government and corporates. “It is because of this nexus and neoliberal policies that the three farm laws, four labour codes, the electricity Bill were made and also is the reason behind the government’s refusal to enact MSP law,” said Ashok Dhawale. He castigated the BJP regime for doubling the prices of diesel, petrol and cooking gas over the last seven years, when international oil prices had in fact halved. The speakers flayed the government for allegedly selling off almost all sections of the public sector to corporates under the hypocritical slogan of ‘atmanirbharta’. — TNS
