Now, focus will be on agriculture crisis, says SKM leader Prem Singh Bhanghu

Chandigarh, December 10

Prem Singh Bhanghu, a leader of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha and president of the All-India Kisan Federation, said the historic victory of the agitation was the win of democracy and the defeat of fascist forces and corporate houses. About 700 farmers had to sacrifice their lives to make the ‘kisan andolan’ a success.

He said the morcha had been suspended from Delhi borders, but the agitation would continue in some other form for finding the solution to deepening agriculture crisis. The Punjab Government had also made promises to waive the debt of farmers and withdraw all cases registered against them in the meeting held with the unions, but no progress had been made so far, he said.

After the victory procession, the leadership would visit the Golden Temple on December 13, the SKM leader said. — TNS
