JRKSSS held a kisan mahapanchayat
RANCHI: Jharkhand Rajya Kisan Sangharsh Samanvaya Samiti (JRKSSS), an umbrella organisation of farmer bodies, on Saturday held a kisan mahapanchayat here while Congress took out ‘padyatras’ across the state to demand the withdrawal of three farm laws passed by the Centre.
Speaking at the mahapanchayat at Rahe, state convenor of JRKSSS, Sufal Mahto, said, “The farm laws are a death warrant for the farmers and our agitation will continue till they are withdrawn. The Centre’s approach towards the agitation is suppressive from the very beginning.”
General secretary of the Jharkhand Rajya Kisan Sabha, Surjeet Sinha, claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government wants the destruction of the farmers’ community.
