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.

Synopsis
The farmers said they needed to discuss the proposal and assess the general sentiment. “Our stand is for the repeal of the laws,” farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal told. “The government came up with a fresh proposal to suspend the laws for a year to 1.5 years and even mentioned once a period of two years, and giving an affidavit to the Supreme Court on the same.”

The suspension could mean the laws being inoperative until after elections next year in Punjab, a state where the BJP is facing intense political opposition.
