Deccan Chronicle  

NEW DELHI: Farmers' unions, under Samyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of over 40 farmer unions, has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi listing their six demands, including the resignation and arrest of Union minister of state for home affairs Ajay Mishra Teni, whose son has been accused of mowing down farmers in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri. Terming the Union government’s decision to withdraw the three farm laws “a good step”, Mr Rajewal said, “but a lot of things still remain.” In a statement, the SKM said, "While Mr Narendra Modi or his government does not acknowledge the heavy and avoidable sacrifices made by about 700 brave farmers of the Kisan Andolan, the Telangana government has now stepped forward to provide support to the kin of the martyrs. BKU UP unit vice-president Harnam Singh Verma said, “The Prime Minister has announced the repeal of the three farm laws, but he did not say when the MSP law will be made. He said this as farmer unions decided to continue their year-long agitation at Delhi's borders even after Mr Modi announced the decision to withdraw the three farm laws.
