SKM suspends Yogendra for a month
Description
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Thursday decided to suspend its core committee member, Yogendra Yadav, from all its activities for one month because he visited the family of one of the BJP workers who died in Lakhimpur Kheri. “It was a collective decision taken by all members of the SKM to take this action against him for going to the BJP worker’s house and for his tweet about it also,” said Rashtriya Kisan Mahasangh leader Abhimanyu Kohar, who attended the general body meeting at the Singhu border. “Many farmers had expressed concern and were hurt... We took note of it and acted,” he added. Mr. Yadav defended his actions during the meeting. “I was asked to say that I made a mistake by going there. I refused to say that. I said that for me, it is a matter of principle and policy,” he said.
