SKM TO MEET ON NOV 27

PROTESTS TO GO AS PLANNED
The farm unions have decided to continue their agitation according to schedule, including a march to Parliament on November 29 when the Winter Session begins
MEERUT/NEW DELHI/ROHTAK: The protesting farmer unions on Sunday announced that their agitation will continue as planned, as they dug in heels for a law guaranteeing minimum support prices (MSPs), days after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that his government would repeal three agricultural laws enacted last year that set off widespread protests.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of 40 farmer unions, at the Singhu border on Sunday. Among the planned protests is a Kisan Mahapanchayat scheduled to take place in Lucknow on Monday, and a march to Parliament on November 29 to coincide with the commencement of the Winter Session.
The SKM has also written an open letter to the PM seeking immediate resumption of talks with the government over six of their pending demands.
The Union cabinet is likely to approve a proposal to repeal the contentious laws this week, officials familiar with the matter said on Sunday.
