Fight for MSP law not over yet: Yogendra Yadav

Description

Karnal: Farmer unionist Yogendra Yadav on Monday said the farmers might have forced the government to repeal three contentious laws but their fight for a legal guarantee of minimum support price is not over yet. While in Karnal on Monday to chair a meeting of the Jai Kisan Andolan, he said the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) will keep watching the government’s next step and have a review meeting on January 15. Yadav asked the Haryana government to cancel the cases registered against farmers and give compensation to the families of those who died during the agitation. Asked about SKM member Gurnam Singh Chaurni’s announcement of fielding candidates in the Punjab assembly elections, Yadav said: “It is a democratic country and anybody can contest the elections here but they shouldn’t seek votes in the SKM’s name.” tnn
