Punjab should procure crops at MSP, says Saini

The SKM is not part of the 'Delhi Chalo' protest that has recently crossed its 300th day. The agitation is led by Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and SKM (non-political). However, a growing consensus suggests the need for a collective effort to push for 13 common demands, including a legal guarantee of Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.

The team comprising Rakesh Tikait, president of Bharatiya Kisan Union (Tikait), Harinder Singh Lakhowal, BKU (Lakhowal) general secretary, Manjit Singh Dhaner, BKU Dakaunda president, and several others reached the venue.
