The United Kisan Morcha has formed a five-member committee to hold talks with the central government on issues like Minimum Support Price (MSP) and withdrawal of cases from farmers. This decision was announced by the United Kisan Morcha after the meeting held today i.e. on December 4. The announcement of this meeting was made by the Kisan Morcha after the proposed tractor rally on the first day of the winter session of Parliament on November 29 was canceled by the Morcha. The next meeting of the United Kisan Morcha will be held on December 7.
The five names that have been stamped on behalf of the farmers are Gurnam Singh Chaduni, Ashok Dhawale, Balbir Rajewal, Shiv Kumar Kakka, and Yudhveer Singh. These faces have played a major role in the peasant movement. According to farmer leader Rakesh Tikait, this will be the head committee of the United Kisan Morcha. Tikait also said that the government has not yet sent an official call for talks. If the government calls, these five people will go to talk. He also said that the movement is not over yet. While talking to India Today, Shiv Kumar Kakka, a member of the committee, said,
During this meeting, the farmer leaders once again raised the issue of the farmers killed during the agitation. The farmers handed over the list of 702 deceased farmers to the Agriculture Secretary. During this, the issue was also discussed that the central government is trying to divide the agitating farmers. According to a report by Amit Bhardwaj associated with India Today, the United Kisan Morcha feels that the central government is trying to weaken the movement by talking to different farmer leaders. In such a situation, when the front has decided the names of five people, now the government will have to contact them directly for talks. The United Kisan Morcha says that after meeting the government, these five members will organize a big meeting, in which the next step will be decided.
Earlier on November 30, the central government told Parliament that it did not have the data of farmers killed during the agitation. Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar gave this answer on behalf of the central government in the Lok Sabha. He said that since the government does not have any data of the deceased farmers, there is no question of giving compensation to their families. The Union Agriculture Minister made this statement in response to a written question. He had also told that to end the standoff with the agitating farmers, the central government held 11 rounds of talks with him.
