CHANDIGARH: As chaotic scenes unfolded in Delhi amid criticism of violence by a section of the farmers, leaders of the protestors alleged that anti-social elements infiltrated their peaceful agitation. Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), umbrella body of 40 farmer unions, blamed the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) for breaking rules and marching down unscheduled routes.
KMSC is not part of the platform of the 32 Punjab farmers unions, but it has been participating in farmers’ meetings.“They (KMSC) did not listen to SKM leaders, who pleaded with them not to force their way into Delhi. Also, Delhi Police and other elements misguided the farmers,’’ said a senior farmer leader.

Around 15 years ago, when a small group led by Stanam Singh Pannu broke away from parent organisation Kisan Sangharsh Committee, nobody beyond the majha area of Punjab even took notice of the development. But over the years, due to its struggles, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) gained momentum and emerged as one of the main farmer unions of the state.
Once a small group of majha, now the KMSC has strong presence in almost seven or eight districts of Punjab.
Once an activist of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), Pannu, who hails from Piddi village near Tarn Taran district, has been active in the farmers’ movement for the past almost three decades. He along with some other members broke away from the CPM around two decades back and formed the Kisan Sangarsh Committee.
