"Sansad Chalo," says: The Farmer's Front, after the PM announcement of repealing the Three Farm Law

The farmers have decided to continue their protest till the laws are officially withdrawn


New Delhi: After the Farmer Law Repealment, the farmers' front Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) met at the Singhu border and decided on a series of upcoming programmes, including a march to parliament on November 29 -- when the houses meet for the Winter Session. They said "Sansad Chalo".

During their first meet with Prime Minister Modi, farmer leaders decided to send an open letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, raising their pending demands, the most important being central legislation to ensure a Minimum Support Price (MSP).

PM Modi on Friday announced withdrawing the "Three Farm Law". 

"While apologising to the nation, I want to say with a sincere and pure heart that maybe something was lacking in our Tapasya that we could not explain the truth, as clear as the light of the Diya, to some of our farmer brothers. But today is Prakash Parv, not the time to blame anyone. Today, I want to tell the country that we have decided to repeal the three farm laws," PM Modi said in an address to the nation. 

He also said that the parliament sessions will start at end of this month, the Govt. will surely complete the process of repealing the laws.

However, the farmers decided to continue their year-long protest till it isn't officially withdrawn on papers. The Modi Govt. has also ensured to withdraw all the police cases filed against the farmers during their year-long protest.

According to a statement of Samyukta Kisan Morcha said, "Kisan Mahapanchayat will be held in Lucknow on Monday. Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Diwas will be observed on prominent British India politician Sir Chhotu Ram's birth anniversary on November 24, a march to Delhi borders will be organised on November 26 and a march to Parliament on November 29."

The farmers' front has called another meeting on November 27 to review the situation.
