The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Thursday announced to end the year-long farmers protest against the three farms. The morcha said that farmers will return to their homes from several Delhi border points.
Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi on Wednesday lashed out at the Modi government over farmers issues and accused it of being 'insensitive' towards farmers and common people of the country. Speaking at the Parliamentary Party meeting, Sonia asked the MPs to honour the sacrifice of farmers who died during the year-long protests against three farm laws.
When will the farmers' protest end? Suspense continues on this question as now the farmers have demanded the government to withdraw all criminal cases against the farmers.
Farmers seem all set to return back home spending more than a year on the Delhi borders. Farmers, after their meeting on December 4, chose five such leaders who would hold talks with the Union government on their further demands. BKU leader Yudhvir Singh, being one of them, talked exclusively with India TV on repeal of farm laws, farmers' protest coming to an end, and more.
Farmers Protest: SKM forms five-member committee for dialogue with govt on pending demands
The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Saturday formed a five-member panel for dialogue with the government on their pending demands including MSP, compensation to kin of farmers who died during the movement against the agri laws and withdrawal of cases against the protesters, farmer leader Rakesh Tikait said here.
Farmer leaders Balbir Singh Rajewal, Ashok Dhole, Shiv Kumar Kakka, Gurnam Singh Chaduni, and Yudhveer Singh are members of this committee. Notably, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait is not included in it.
After the repeal of farm laws, confusion persists on the farmers' protest. Even though some farmers of Punjab have said that the agitation should end now, but on December 4, the farmers are going to hold a big meeting regarding the future of the movement. However, the farmer leaders are demanding a written guarantee on MSP from the government.
After government asked farmer unions to suggest 5 names for panel on MSP, Rakesh Tikait while speaking to India TV said that its good that government is going forward but farmers will not end their protest until all their demands are fulfilled.
Coming as a major development in the ongoing farmers' protest, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Satnam Singh on Tuesday said that the government has accepted their demands, therefore, it wouldn't be a point anymore to continue their protest.

While from Rakesh Tikait's recent statements, it seems that he isn't ready to end the ongoing farmers' protest until the issue of MSP is discussed, many farmer leaders want the protest to end. Farmer leader Manjeet Singh Sirsa too seems to be in the same favour.
Farm Laws Repeal Bill cleared both houses of Parliament on November 29. Sanyukt Kisan Morcha has called an emergency meeting on December 1 for the same. 32 farm unions from Punjab will be also meeting on the same day and it is being speculated that further agenda on the end of the ongoing protests will be discussed.
The farmers' agitation will continue till their demands, including a legal guarantee for MSP, are fulfilled and also until the Centre holds parleys with them, Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait said. BKU national spokesperson said they (BJP government) announced repealing of the three farm laws, but it will not solve the issues. There are several issues of farmers that need to be resolved. "The farmers' protest will continue till the central government resumes talks on their demands, including Minimum Support Price (MSP) guarantee law," Tikait said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi withdrew all three farm laws but the farmers' protest isn't over yet. Now the question in the mind of the people is, what do the leaders of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha want? Why is the agitation not ending? But farmer leaders are now gheraoing the borders of Delhi by making MSP their issue to protest. Are farmers trying to bet on UP with their agitation?
