In today’s meeting, the SAMYUKTA KISAN Morcha (SKM) will decide on the projected parliament march on November 29 and the future of the protest, which will begin at midday at Kajaria tiles near the Singhu border. The meeting would be attended by about 70 representatives from various unions from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Rajasthan, and other states. According to sources, a number of unions have already stated their views that the tractor march to Parliament on November 29 should be postponed for the time being because the Prime Minister has already indicated that agricultural legislation will be repealed in parliament sessions beginning November 29.

“These opinions will be examined in the meeting, and whatever is decided will be communicated to the media by evening,” said Jagmohan Singh Patiala, general secretary of BKU Dakaunda and a member of SKM. We must all share our perspectives in order to reach an agreement.” “The future of agitation will also be examined as well as how to go about it,” he added. According to sources, several unions are debating whether to keep the dharna at the border or to call it off for the time being and hold bilateral talks with the government to discuss the remainder of the concerns.
“Punjab farmers are hopeful to continue agitation ahead as MSP is our main demand and many other concerns need to be resolved,” Patiala remarked. Everything will be discussed at today’s SKM meeting, which will begin at noon.” “We will be talking about marching towards Parliament in Saturday’s meeting in the SKM’s meeting,” Buta Singh Burjgill, head of BKU Dakaunda, said.

SKM had previously claimed that 500 farmers carrying I cards will ride tractor-trolleys into Delhi and begin a dharna outside the parliament. Every day, 500 more farmers will arrive, with no one leaving the property. SKM had not even sought permission for the march since Balbir Singh Rajewal, president of BKU Rajewal, had warned that, if necessary, arrests would be made.
“This matter will be reviewed on Saturday in SKM’s meeting, and after mutual debate, we will decide what has to be done,” one of Punjab’s 32 farmer unions stated. As of yet, nothing has been determined.” “Today’s meeting is critical in terms of the future course of agitation,” a union leader remarked.
