The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) has decided to recall all its dharnas from Punjab, following a meeting held in Ludhiana. The decision marks a shift in the SKM’s strategy, as it plans to organise fresh protests against the AAP government.
According to Baldev Singh Nihalgarh, SKM will hold dharnas at the residences of all AAP MLAs on March 10, as a show of resentment against the government. This move is seen as an escalation of SKM’s agitation, as it targets the ruling party’s elected representatives.
