Farm agitation called off as SKM leaders accept Centre’s proposal

The Hindu  

Thousands of protesting farmers camped out on the borders of Delhi for 380 days are set to go home on Saturday, after marking a ‘vijay diwas’ to celebrate the achievement of most of their demands. On Thursday, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a joint platform of protesting farm unions, announced that it had accepted the Central government’s proposal to resolve pending demands and called off the year-long agitation. “This is a historic victory for Indian farmers after a historic movement both in terms of size as well as unity and peaceful nature of the protest,” said All India Kisan Sabha leader Hannan Mollah. “After today’s proposal from the government, I feel we have achieved 95% of the SKM's demands,” added Krantikari Kisan Union leader Darshan Pal, pointing out that the Prime Minister’s sudden capitulation on the repeal of three farm laws was unexpected, but welcome. The Centre’s formal proposal, which was signed by Agriculture Secretary Sanjay Agarwal despite the fact that farm leaders said most negotiations on the document were held with Home Ministry representatives, was received on Thursday morning.
