Khap leaders urge all farmer unions to put up united front
This comes a day before the fourth round of talks between Union ministers and Samyukt Kisan Morcha (non-political) leaders which is scheduled to be held on Sunday in Chandigarh
The leaders of various khaps during a meeting in Jind asked all farmer unions to get united and chalk out a strategy to intensify the protest if the Centre does not agree to their demands.
This comes a day before the fourth round of talks between Union ministers and Samyukt Kisan Morcha (non-political) leaders which is scheduled to be held on Sunday in Chandigarh.
Kandela Khap head Om Parkash Kandela said that the SKM (non-political) started the agitation without consulting many farmers’ unions and khap leaders and urged the farm leaders to rope everyone in the strategies.
“We have decided to support the farmers’ stir but before that the leaders of both Samyukt Kisan Morcha, which led the protest in the 2020 and 2021 farm stir, and SKM (non-political), who are protesting on the Punjab-Haryana borders, should unite and finalise a strategy in case Centre does not accept their demands during the fourth round of meeting,” he added.
Majra Khap chief Gurvinder Sandhu said that there is a lack of cooperation and coordination between farmer leaders, who are leading the protest, and the unions which are yet to join the stir.
