Farmers’ ‘unity’ meeting remains inconclusive, round 2 on January 18

Hindustan Times  

The key ‘unity’ meeting between protesting farmer unions and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha on Monday in Patran town ended without any conclusion. The two farm unions leading the protests at the Khanauri and Shambhu borders between Punjab and Haryana, in Patiala district -- Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and SKM -- and the SKM decided to hold another round of ‘unity’ talks on January 18 to draw a blueprint for a united fight for their demands, including a legal guarantee for minimum support price on crops. The ‘unity’ meeting, initially scheduled for January 15, was pushed ahead to January 13 at the request of protesting farmers in wake of the deteriorating health of SKM convener Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been on a fast-unto-death since November 26. SKM leaders Joginder Singh Ugrahan, Balbir Singh Rajewal, Darshan Pal, Raminder Patiala and Yuddhvir Singh attended the meeting held at a gurdwara in Patiala’s Patran town.
