New Delhi: Agitating farmers on Monday announced to organise a national convention on August 26 to mark the completion of nine months of their protest against Centre’s three contentious agri laws.
“To mark the completion of nine months of historic, continuous peaceful protests by lakhs of farmers, Samyukt Kisan Morcha has decided to hold a national convention on August 26,” a statement from the Samyukt Kisan Morcha said.
The umbrella body of over 40 farm unions said that all-India convention would witness participation of representatives of hundreds of farmers’ unions to make this event a success.
Thousands of farmers from across the country, particularly Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at Delhi borders, including Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur, since November last year.
