NEW DELHI: SKM called upon farmers to conduct the Tractor/Vehicle/MotorCycle Parade on 26th January 2025, the 76th Republic Day at district/sub division level across the country. The Farmers’ will Parade demanding the Prime Minister to immediately convene discussions with all the Kisan organisations on struggle and save the life of Jagjit Singh Dallewal, immediately withdraw the Anti-Farmer, Anti-Federal NPFAM, enact law for MSP@C2+50% with legally guaranteed procurement, comprehensive scheme for loan waiver to farmers and farm workers, No privatisation of Electricity, no smart meters, provide free electricity up to 300 units, implement LARR Act 2013 among others.
All the State Coordination Committees (SCCs) of SKM will meet immediately and issue a call to strongly protest by burning copies of the National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing -NPFAM. The dates and details will be decided at State level.
Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) strongly condemned the authoritarian, insensitive attitude of the Prime Minister for not willing for discussions with the Kisan organisations and to protect the life of farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal.
The Supreme Court and the President of India have become helpless to intervene to save the farmer leaders life despite the fast unto death struggle has crossed 46 days. This is mainly due to the adamant stand of the Prime Minister Narendar Modi who is surrendering in front of the rapacious Corporate Forces that are hell bent on imposing their dominance on agriculture, industry and services by denying minimum support price to farmers, minimum wage to workers and destroying productive employment to the youth.
The people’s livelihood is at stake due to corporate onslaught through a series of pro-corporate refoms, the latest being the National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing that challenges the Federal structure of Indian Union, one of the basic principles of Indian Constitution. However, the Prime Minister considers himself above the law and the Constitution of the country is highly unfortunate.
The coordination meeting of SKM with the SKM (NP) and KMM will be rescheduled to 13th January at Patran, a nearby town to Khanauri as requested by the respective Platforms.
