NEW DELHI: Taking note of the high-level meeting of BJP on farmers’ protests, umbrella body of the farmers' unions opposed to the central farm laws, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), on Wednesday said the ruling party was trying its best to counter the farmers' movement instead of working on resolving the issue.
“It is clear that instead of resolving the ongoing struggle (on farmers’ demands), the BJP is trying its best to counter and destroy it (movement),” said Darshan Pal, leader of the SKM, ahead of the Morcha’s four-hour nationwide ‘Rail Roko’ (rail blockade) programme scheduled for Thursday (12 noon to 4 pm).
