Appropriate Memorial for 736 farmer martyrs at Delhi Border

New Delhi /////Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM)  sending press release today said that The farmers of Haryana and Jammu Kashmir will rally the people at large to Expose, Oppose and Punish BJP in the Assembly elections that will eventually ensure implementation of MSP@C2+50% with guaranteed procurement and comprehensive loan waiver across India with a priority to the small and middle farmers and agricultural workers.
The massive setback suffered by BJP across India in the just concluded 18th Lok Sabha elections- NDA lost in 159 rural constituencies- was mainly due to the anger among farmers, workers, youth and marginalised sections including Minorities, Dalits and Adivasis against the pro-corporate policies imposed by the Modi Government. Another drubbing to BJP in these Assembly elections will amount to a litmus test for farmers to make certain their victory in the struggle across India against the corporatisation of agriculture and in defence of their livelihoods.
The Haryana Chief Minister had attempted to misguide the farmers by falsely claiming MSP for 24 crops consciously hiding the fact that the procurement rate is not based on C2+50% but the current rate of A2+FL+50%. The C2+50% rate of paddy one of the major crops of Haryana is Rs.3012/qntl while the current rate is Rs. 2300/qntl means less by Rs.712/qntl. Paddy farmers alone in Haryana had a loss of Rs.3851.90 crore in the year 2023-24. Similarly though the workers movement were consistently in struggle demanding minimum wage of Rs.26000/ month, rolling back of four pro corporate labour codes and regularisation of their jobs in schemes including Anganwadi, Asha and Mid-Day meals, the BJP led State Government in Haryana and the Modi Government that rules Jammu Kashmir through the Lieutenant Governor had brutally ignored these huge mass sections.
By joining the 385 days long historic farmers struggle, 736 farmer martyrs made supreme sacrifice to to save agriculture and forced the Union Government to repeal the 3 anti-national Farm Acts. The BJP led State Government of Haryana has insulted those martyrs and did not built an appropriate Martyrs Memorial at Singhu/Tikri bordes so far. SKM appeals the people of Haryana to uphold its great tradition of respecting martyrs and give befitting reply by massively rejecting the pro- corporate BJP.
The farmers and workers movements will allow no stone unturned to ensure a huge setback to the anti-farmer, anti-worker BJP led NDA. The Haryana State Coordination Committees of both the Samyukta Kisan Morcha and the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions have resolved to convene Farmers and Workers Panchayat on 7th September 2024 at Hisar. Concrete action plan of massive campaigns at ground level will be discussed and announced in this convention. The all India leaders will also join the convention.
In Jammu and Kashmir also the farmers’ organisations and Trade Unions will ensure massive door to door campaigns in villages and towns to expose the pro-corporate policies that create large scale unemployment, price rise and inequality, privatise education and health sectors, deny minimum support price, minimum wage and comprehensive loan waiver to the farmers and workers apart from restoration of the statehood of Jammu and Kashmir .
