The Samyukt Ki⭕san Morcha will hold a meeting here on Monday to review the progress made so far by the Centre on the promises made to farmers, including setting up a panel on MSP, and decide the future course of action.
The closed-door meeting will be held at the Gandhꦺi Peace Foundation at Deen Dayal Upadhyay Marg from 10 am.
The SKM had spearheaded a year-long agitation against the Centre's three farm laws. It had suspended the stir on December 9 last year after the government revoked the contentious laws and agreed to consider its six other demands, including withdrawal of cases register▨ed against farmers during the agitation, a legal guarantee on minimum support price (MSP) and compensation for kin of farmers who died during the protest.
Acco𒆙rding to an SKM functionary, leaders of all farmers' unio❀ns that are constituents of the SKM will participate in the meeting.
The agenda of the meeting is to review the progress made on the assurance letter given by the government on December 9, 2021, to the SKM, the national action plan on the issue of MSP and in the Lakhimpur Kheri 💯case, 🍌an SKM leader said on Sunday.
A scheme for building a memorial for the farmers who died during the agitation against the agricultural laws will also be diꦜscussed during the meeting, he said.
"A roadmap will be decided to pressur🥃e the central government to ensure a legal guarantee on minimum support price and the fulfilment of other demands," 🌊he added.
Internal issues of the SKM such as rules and regulatꦗions, the current status of funds and a decision on farmers' unions that contested the Punjab Assembly polls will also be discussed during the meeting.
The SKM had observed January 31 as "Day of Betrayal" to protest ag🍃ainst the Centre for not fulfilling any of the promises on the basis of which the farmers' agitation was su♌spended.
I꧑t had said it would be "left with no option but to resume the agitation" if the promises made were not fulfilled at th🐷e earliest. (With PTI inputs)
