The meeting between the agitated farmers and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and Kissan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) is scheduled for January 13th, after delay. Earlier, the meeting was planned for Sunday, January 11. However, the date was pushed by a day in the wake of the deteriorating health of the farmers’ leader, Jagjit Singh Dallewal. This meeting will start at 11 AM at Guru Teg Bahadur Gurudwara in Patran, Patiala.
The meeting will include protesting farmers at Khanauri and Shambhu border points. The focus of the discussion will be to decide the next action on a joint fight.
Who Said What
