Sonepat, July 14
Taking a serious note over the statements of launching of ‘Mission Punjab’, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Wednesday suspended Gurnam Singh Charuni, a prominent face of the farmers’ movement in Haryana and prominent member of nine members committee of the SKM, for seven days.
The SKM also banned him for sharing any stage and for making any statement during his suspension period.
Charuni firmed up on his statement of ‘Mission Punjab’ and said the decision of suspending him was wrong.
Notably, the farmer leader, national president of BKU (Charuni), had made the statements to launch the ‘Mission Punjab’ instead of ‘Mission UP’ and also asked the Punjab’s farmer leaders to take a political plunge and contest the assembly elections in the state due early next year and to present a new model of governance before the country.
