Yogendra Yadav attends SKM core panel meeting
Description
Bathinda: Swaraj Abhiyan chief Yogendra Yadav attended the nine-member core committee meeting of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Saturday after his one-month suspension got over. He was suspended on October 21 for visiting the home of a BJP activist Shubham Mishra, who was beaten to death after four farmers and a journalist were mowed at Tikunia village in Lakhimpur Kheri on UP on October 3. Yadav had tweeted about his visit, writing: ‘Visited Shubham Mishra’s home after martyr farmers’ memorial service. The family members did not get angry, but only asked with a heavy heart ‘are we not farmers, what was fault of our son, why your companion stated about action-reaction, their questions are echoing in ears’.” The SKM in its meeting on October 21 suspended Yadav for a month. Yudhvir Singh of BKU, Shiv Kumar Kakka Ji, Balbir Singh Rajewal, Darshan Pal, Jagjit Singh Dallewal and others in the core committee had met at Singhu on Saturday. Yadav heads a farm organisation called ‘Jai Kisan Andolan’, which is part of SKM.
