The 'Kisaan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat' will be hosted by over 100 organisations under the banner of Samyukta Shetkari Kamgar Morcha (SSKM) and will be addressed by SKM leaders.
With regard to withdrawal of cases against farmers during the agitation, Tomar said this is in the domain of the state governments.
Farmers have been protesting against the farm laws on various borders of Delhi since Nov 26, 2020.
The Delhi Assembly on Friday passed a resolution seeking repeal of the three farm laws, compensation to families of over 700 farmers who died during protests and legal guarantee of minimum support price of crops.
Farmers have been protesting against the farm laws on various borders of Delhi since Nov 26, 2020.
The farmers' agitation will continue till their demands, including a legal guarantee for MSP, are fulfilled and also until the Centre holds parleys with them, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait said. BKU national spokesperson said they (BJP government) announced repealing of the three farm laws, but it will not solve the issues. There are several issues of farmers that need to be resolved. "The farmers' protest will continue till the central government resumes talks on their demands, including Minimum Support Price (MSP) guarantee law," Tikait said.
Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) will organise protests in different states today to mark the first anniversary of the farmers' movement against three farm laws.
BKU (Rajewal) leader Pargat Singh told reporters at the Tikri border on Thursday that thousands of farmers have reached and many more are reaching.
"I would urge farmers to get assurance on MSP & committees formed to address other issues and go home. I would advise them not to stretch it (protest) unnecessarily. MSP is their basic demand and I'm with them on this issue," Meghalaya Governor Satyapal Malik added.
Rakesh Tikait said that the government should accept farmers' demand for a law on the Minimum Support Price (MSP).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced his government's decision to repeal the three farm laws over which the farmers have been protesting over the past year on Delhi's borders, urging them to return to their homes.
Talking to the media, Pilot said no matter what the government does now, it is "far too late" to erase from the farmers' minds the suffering caused during the farm laws agitation.
There is, as of now, no guarantee that the farmers would leave once the MSP guarantee law is passed. One should also understand whether it is feasible on part of the Centre to guarantee minimum support prices to farmers?
Rakesh Tikait said it took almost one year to make the "government understand that that the farm laws will harm the farmers, workers and shopkeepers of the country".
Prime Minister Narendra Modi withdrew all three farm laws but the farmers' protest isn't over yet. Now the question in the mind of the people is, what do the leaders of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha want? Why is the agitation not ending? But farmer leaders are now gheraoing the borders of Delhi by making MSP their issue to protest. Are farmers trying to bet on UP with their agitation? Watch Aaj Ki Baat with Rajat Sharma.
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the umbrella body of agitating farm unions, has said that farmers will go ahead with their protests and announced 'Sansad Chalo' (march to Parliament) on November 29 to observe one year of anti-farm laws protests.
Farmers seem to be in no mood to return back home even after the repeal of the farm laws. Farmers have decided to not leave the borders of Delhi for the time being. This decision was approved in the meeting of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha at Singhu border today. What are the farmers planning? Watch Muqabla with Surbhi Sharma.
Sidhu also took on the BJP-led Centre, saying there had been no word from it on framing a law to guarantee the minimum support price (MSP) for crops.
The farmers are also demanding compensation for the farmers who lost their lives during farmers' protests and the withdrawal of cases registered against them.
The PCC chief further claimed that small farmers need the Punjab government's support to protect them from "corporate takeover" through the "Punjab Model".
