Farmers protest: The Samyukt Kisan Morcha claims it has received permission for 'Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat' in Delhi on March 14 to intensify fight against Modi Government.
The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on March 12 said it has received permission from Delhi Police to hold a 'Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat' at Delhi's Ramlila Ground on March 14, where a resolution will be passed to "intensify the fight" against policies of the Modi Government.
The umbrella body of farmers' organisations, which had spearheaded the 2020-21 farmers' protest at Delhi borders against the three central agri laws, stressed that it would be a peaceful gathering.
"The Delhi Police has issued the NOC for conducting the Mahapanchayat at Ramlila Maidan on 14 March 2024 and arranging parking space and other basic amenities like water, toilets and ambulance with the support of Municipal Administration of Delhi," the SKM claimed in a statement.
The SKM appealed to farmers and workers to attend the Kisan Mazdoor Mahapanchayat and said preparations are in full swing to make the event "politically significant and successful".
It said the Mahapanchayat will adopt 'Sankalp Patra' or Letter of Resolution to "intensify the fight against the pro-corporate, communal, dictatorial policies of the Modi Government; to fight to save farming, food security, livelihood and the people from corporate loot".
"In the context of the forthcoming general election to the Lok Sabha, the Mahapanchayat will declare the future plan of action of how to intensify the ongoing struggle to achieve the genuine demands of the farmers as well as the workers," it said, adding farmers from nearby states will join the Mahapanchayat.
"Majority of the farmers are coming by trains. Buses and four-wheelers will have the window sticker apart from the flags of the respective organisations to have hassle-free transportation to Delhi and after dropping farmers, (the vehicles) will be parked in the allocated spots," the statement said.
