Haryana Khaps will support Punjab farmers' protest only if all farmer unions unite
New Indian ExpressSuresh Phogat, Chief of Phogat Khap, stated, "In a panchayat held last month in Baas village, we urged the farmers' unions of Punjab to come together and collectively fight for their demands, including the establishment of a legal guarantee for the Minimum Support Price. In February of the previous year, khap representatives from across Haryana gathered at Titoli village in Rohtak, forming an 11-member committee tasked with holding talks with leaders of the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, Samyukta Kisan Morcha, and Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee. During the earlier farmers' protest, three dharnas were held in Haryana, with 102 khaps offering their support. "We want all farmer unions to unite on this issue and resolve their differences, as MSP will benefit all farmers, not just one," he added.
