Ahead of the Assembly polls next year, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) protesting against the three farm laws, has organised a mega mahapanchayat on Sunday in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar, known as the Jat belt to mobilise farmers against the Modi Government.
According to farmer leaders, discussions will be held on issues concerning farmers, including the contentious three laws passed by the Centre last year but the main focus will be to mobilise farmers especially Jat community against Yogi and Modi Governments anti farmers policies.
In a statement, the SKM said that they will launch Mission Uttar Pradesh -Uttarakhand, for spreading the farmers’ movement all over these states against the anti-farmer BJP, for repeal of three anti-farmer laws, withdrawal of Electricity Amendment Bill 2020, and to fulfill the demand for legal guarantee of purchase at MSP at one and a half times the comprehensive cost for all agricultural products.
The farmers’ leader said that the Mahapanchayat will make the Yogi-Modi Governments realize the power of the farmers, farm labourers, and supporters of the farm movement.
