Farmers still agitating as govt has failed to give 'alternative': Samuykta Kisan Morcha

Farmers are still agitating because ministers of the Modi government have failed to present any "alternative" to the three new agri laws or the MSP, despite 11 rounds of talks," Samuykta Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Darshan Pal said in a video message on Wednesday.

Responding to PM Modi’s calling of protesters 'andolanjivis', Pal said that union leaders have only been raising the "genuine" issues of the farmers.

He further claimed that it is "absolutely clear" that the new laws will finish government mandis while private mandis will have monopoly
