New Delhi: The proposed daily tractor march to Parliament during the upcoming Winter Session has not been withdrawn by farmers and said that a final call would be taken on this after holding a meeting on Sunday, farmer leaders said on Saturday.
To mark one year of agitation against three black farm bills, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmers’ unions, had earlier this month announced that 500 farmers will participate in peaceful tractor marches to Parliament every day during the Winter Session starting November 29.
However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced the Centre will repeal the three farm laws, marking a climbdown by his government to meet the unrelenting demand of farmers protesting in several states against the reform measures.
“Our call of tractor march to Parliament still stands. A final decision on the future course of the agitation and MSP issues will be taken in a meeting of the SKM at Singhu Border on Sunday,” farmer leader and SKM core committee member Darshan Pal told PTI on Saturday.
