Samyukta Kisan Morcha on Thursday announced to end its year-old long protest after accepting the revised proposal of the Centre and said that farmers will vacate the borders by December 11.
This decision comes after SKM’s meeting at Singhu border to take a final call to end the 378 days agitation.
The SKM stated that the Centre through the Secretary, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare, has sent a formal letter to SKM agreeing to several pending demands of the protesting farmers.
“The SKM formally announces the lifting of the morchas at Delhi borders, on national highways, and various other locations in response. The current agitation stands suspended. The battle has been won and the war to ensure farmers’ rights, especially to secure MSP as a legal entitlement for all farmers, will continue,” the umbrella body of farmer’s union said.
The SKM on Thursday evening released a statement on the decision to end protests, and said, “Considering that the nation is mourning the demise of CDS Bipin Rawat and his associates, the SKM has decided to postpone all celebrations with regard to the victory of farmers, and celebratory rallies will be taken out day after tomorrow, on 11 December, when farmers leave the morcha sites together in victory rallies.”
