Quit WTO, farmers demand with tractors lined up on highways

The Hindu  

Even as the stand-off between the Centre and protesting farmers continues, several farmers on February 26 held tractor marches on State and National Highways, and staged demonstrations in Punjab and Haryana, amid calls from different farmer outfits in support of their demands and against repression of their struggle. Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the umbrella body of farmers that spearheaded the 2020-21 farmers’ agitation, observed February 26 as ‘Quit WTO Day’. The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the two umbrella bodies of around 200 farmers and farm labourer unions, had given the call for the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march, to press for fulfilment of their demands, including a legal guarantee for purchasing crops at a Minimum Support Price, and farm loan waivers. Demanding that the agriculture sector be taken out of the World Trade Organization agreement, the farmers associated with the SKM and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha also parked their tractors along the State and National Highways at many places in Punjab and Haryana.
