SKM seeks clarifications on Home Ministry proposal

The Hindu  

Responding to a Home Ministry’s proposal, received on Tuesday morning, which urged the protesting farmers to call off their agitation as most of their pending demands have been resolved, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha has sought clarifications on several points, including withdrawal of ‘fake’ cases against protestors. While some farmers say they are ready to go home if the Centre adapts the language of its proposal to accede to their demands, U.P.’s tallest leader Rakesh Tikait of the BKU said the government must still sit across the table with farmer leaders and hold talks with the SKM. Tuesday’s Home Ministry proposal only says SKM’s leaders would be included in the Centre’s proposed committee to discuss MSP, among other issues. Another major sticking point, especially among Punjab leaders, remains the Centre’s conditional offer to withdraw cases filed against protesters over the last year, including during a chaotic Republic Day tractor rally in the capital.
