Farmer leaders protesting the Centre바카라s three agriculture reform laws claim that Sunday, September 5, will 바카라witness the largest gathering of farmers ever in the world바카라.
A 바카라Kisan Mahapanchayat바카라 has been organised in Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh 바카라 about 130 km north of Delhi 바카라 by the joint platform of farmer unions, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM).
바카라It will be a historic event with at least 15 to 20 lakh participants,바카라 claimed Abhimanyu Kohar of SKM.
바카라Since the last 10 days, our teams have been visiting 13 to 14 villages each day to invite farmers to this Mahapanchayat. Every village will send at least five vehicles full of peasants,바카라 added the 28-year-old national coordinator of Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh (RKM) in his address.
According to the SKM, the Kisan Mahapanchayat will inaugurate 바카라Mission Uttar Pradesh바카라. SKM leaders earlier held a series of meetings in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Madhya Pradesh to mobilise support.
Assembly elections are expected in Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Punjab early next year. Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh go to polls in 2023.
바카라This is actually a 바카라chunaavi바카라 바카라 political 바카라 panchayat,바카라 stated Rajkumar Chahar, National President of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Kisan Morcha.
바카라I have always said this is all a political campaign in the garb of farmer protest,바카라 added Chahar, Member of Parliament from Fatehpur Sikri, Uttar Pradesh.SKM leaders visited states like West Bengal where assembly elections were held earlier this year to seek mandate against BJP candidates. However, they maintain that they do not seek votes in favour of any party.
바카라SKM is not a political party so there is no question of it participating in the political process,바카라 stated Hannan Mollah, General Secretary, All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS).
The Left-affiliated AIKS is also a part of the SKM. About 500 AIKS members from Bihar arrived at the Gazipur protest site at Delhi바카라s border on September 1. This group will stay with other protestors for a week in a show of solidarity.
Similarly, a contingent of protestors have also arrived from Maharashtra this month. Groups of peasants have been visiting the sit-in protest sites at Delhi바카라s borders on rotation to keep the numbers, and morale, high.
Meanwhile, 바카라over 15,000 AIKS activists will take part in the 바카라Kisan Maha Rally바카라 at Muzaffarnagar,바카라 said Hannan Mollah.
바카라The united farmers바카라 movement will ensure that the sinister conspiracies and repressive BJP government will be given a fitting rebuff even electorally in the forthcoming assembly elections,바카라 he added.
There were reports that the RSS-affiliated farmers바카라 union 바카라 Bhartiya Kisan Sangh (BKS) 바카라 will hold nationwide protests on September 8. The BKS does not seek a repeal of the three laws and is not part of the SKM agitation. However, it had sought certain assurances to be included in favour of farmers.
The BKS바카라 scheduled protest is said to be against the Centre바카라s lack of assurance despite an ultimatum on considering certain demands regarding the farm laws and the minimum support price (MSP) by August 31.
The government has repeatedly asserted that the three agriculture laws would bring revolutionary changes in the lives of farmers. It has also been made clear that further negotiations will be held only if the farmer unions drop their demand of a repeal of these laws.
Eleven rounds of talks have already been held between the Union Government and protestors, the last being on January 22.
Thousands of farmers have been camping at Delhi's borders since November 2020, demanding total roll back of the laws.
The contentious laws are Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, Farmers' (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
Their demands include framing laws to guarantee minimum support price for crops.
SKM has also given a call for a nationwide strike on September 25. Various trade unions and some political parties have also extended their support.
