Farmers’ mahapanchayat in Lucknow today
Description
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmers unions, will hold a mahapanchayat in Lucknow on Monday to press for a law guaranteeing MSP and the sacking of Union Minister Ajay Mishra, whose son is an accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri violence.The gathering, scheduled to be held at Eco Garden in UP capital, was planned months before PM Narendra Modi announced repealing the three contentious agri laws on Friday. The SKM, at a meet in Delhi, decided to stick to the date.In a tweet, BKU spokesperson Rakesh Tikait gave a call to farmers to gather at Lucknow in large numbers. In another tweet, he claimed, “The farm reforms being talked about by the government are false and cosmetic. The biggest reform will be to make a law guaranteeing MSP.” — PTI
