Delhi, 25th July, 2022: The National Working Group of AIKSCC met today at Delhi and unanimously decided to extend full support to all programmes of agitation announced by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), namely (1) all India District Level Conferences to build-up the agitation for Legal Right of MSP and other demands, (2) Chakka Jaam on 31st July, and (3) Jai Kisan Jai Jawan Conventions all over India against the Agnipath scheme. Accordingly, the Working Group calls upon all constituents of AIKSCC in 20 states to actively and enthusiastically participate in these programmes and make each and every one of them successful and impactful.
AIKSCC strongly condemns the false FIRs against and malicious persecution of AIKSCC Working Group Members Dr. Ashish Mittal and Medha Patkar by the police of BJP-ruled states of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh respectively. These are attempts by the BJP to throttle the voice of the farmers movement, that has recently dealt a defining defeat to the anti-farmer policies of the BJP. AIKSCC puts these states and the central govt on notice that such efforts to intimidate farmer leaders through use of police will be met with peaceful and democratic determined resistance.
AIKSCC Working Group has also given a call for restoring unity amongst farmers organisations in SKM and has appealed to all to come together for fighting the mounting injustices being heaped on the farmers of India. AIKSCC Working Group has authorised and requested its senior members namely (1) Medha Patkar (2) Dr. Ashok Dhawale (3) Dr. Sunilam (4) Satyawan and (5) Dr. Darshan Pal to use their good offices to reach out to and persuade organisations to work together and strengthen the SKM.
