Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has announced to hold a nationwide protest on Monday against the Indian government for not fulfilling its promises, including setting up of a panel on Minimum Support Price (MSP) and withdrawal of cases against farmers.

SKM leaders and members reviewed the progress made so far by the Indian government on the promises made to farmers, including setting up a panel on MSP.

The SKM had spearheaded a year-long agitation against India’s three farm laws. It had suspended the stir on 9 December last year after the government revoked the contentious laws and agreed to consider its six other demands, including withdrawal of cases registered against farmers during the agitation, a legal guarantee on MSP and compensation for kin of farmers who died during the protest.

Later in a statement, the SKM said farmers will observe ‘MSP Guarantee Week’ from 11-17 April under its next phase of nationwide campaign. The non-implementation of the assurances given by the government to the farmers’ movement, even after three months, exposes its anti-farmer intentions.
