Six demands of SKM
On November 22, SMK sent the following six demands in their letter to PM Modi:
1) MSP based on the comprehensive cost of production should be
made a legal entitlement of all farmers for all agricultural produce so that
every farmer of the country can be guaranteed the MSP announced by the
government for their entire crop.
2) Withdraw the draft 'Electricity Amendments Bill, 2020/2021'.
3) Withdrawal of cases against farmers and building a memorial
for the protesters who lost their lives during the agitation against the three
contentious farm laws.
4) Removal of penal provisions against farmers in the
'Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and
Adjoining Areas Act, 2021'.
5) Providing compensation and rehabilitation support for the
families of the over 700 farmers who died during the agitation. Land should be
allotted at the Singhu Border to build a memorial for the deceased farmers.
6) Sacking and arrest of Union Minister of State for Home Ajay Mishra, whose son is accused in the killing of farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri. Eight people, including four farmers and a journalist, were killed on October 3 during a farmers' protest in Uttar Pradesh's Lakhimpur Kheri district. An SUV, belonging to Union minister of state for home affairs Ajay Mishra's convoy, ran over them. Thirteen people, including Ashish Mishra, the prime suspect in the case and the Union minister's son, have so far been arrested.
