New Delhi, Dec 2 (Representative) The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) announced social boycott of BJP-JJP leaders in Haryana, following which the ryots blocked the way of Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala, when he was trying to enter the Dhrauli Khera village of Uchana in Haryana’s Jind district, the Morcha said here on Thursday. According to a statement issued by the SKM, that the social boycott of BJP-JJP leaders will continue till their demands were addressed. The farm unions associated with SKM in Haryana held a meeting on Wednesday, wherein they demanded the Haryana government to repeal the state level amendments to the Land Acquisition, Resettlement and Rehabilitation Act 2013 and withdraw the ‘Haryana Recovery of Damages to Property During Disturbance to Public Order Act, 2021’, in addition to their six pending demands, said the statement.
The stand-off has so far continued, with the Union government forcing the protesting farmers to stay put at the morchas, without any formal communication with regard to their pending demands. Farmers continue to wait patiently for positive developments, and for their legitimate demands to be met by the government. All pucca morchas have been continuing at dozens of toll plazas and other locations, including in places like Rewa in Madhya Pradesh, Wardha of Maharashtra, Jhunjhunu in Rajasthan and so on, it added. According to the statement, President Ram Nath Kovind has given his assent to the farm laws repeal bill passed by both Houses of Parliament. A Gazette Notification has been issued to give effect to the repeal and with this, one important battle has formally ended, with the protesting farmers scoring a major victory against their elected government. The SKM reminded the Union government regarding no death records of protesting farmers reply in the Parliament, stating that the government delegation stood in silence to pay homage to the martyrs during the formal talks with farm leaders last year, as the movement has a record of all brave peasants of the movement and has been waiting for the Centre’s positive response to fulfill the demand for rehabilitation of the kin of the martyrs.
