Samyuktha Karshaka Samithi begins indefinite agitation
CPI(M) politburo member and All India Kisan Sabha vice president S. Ramachandran Pillai on Saturday underscored the need to support and intensify the ongoing farmer protests in Delhi against the contentious farm laws passed by the Centre.
“If the BJP attempts to fight the agitation politically, it will be the beginning of the end of BJP rule. The BJP should correct its policies,” Mr. Pillai said, inaugurating an indefinite agitation organised by the Samyuktha Karshaka Samithi at the Martyrs' Column, Palayam, demanding the urgent withdrawal of the laws.
Mr. Pillai called upon all sections of society to stand united against the flawed policies of the BJP-led NDA government. All three laws are aimed at surrendering the agriculture sector and agricultural production to corporates. Farmers would be enslaved to corporate interests, he said.
