New Delhi: Samyukt Kisan Morcha in a general body meeting held at the Singhu border on Friday decided to take out 'Kalash Yatra' in all the districts of Uttar Pradesh starting October 12.
The farm unions have issued a call for farmers to again gather in strength in Tikunia in Uttar Pradesh on October 12, the “antim ardaas” day when last rites will be conducted for the farmers who died at Lakhimpur Kheri violence last Sunday.
According to leaders of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the ashes of the victims will be taken to all districts of U.P., to the gurudwaras of Punjab, and to all States of the country, to spread the message that “the BJP government is terrorising farmers”.
If demands are not met, ‘rail roko’ on October 18, Lucknow rally on October 24, say farmer protest leaders.
Asked about the violent response by the farmers in Lakhimpur Kheri where three BJP workers were killed, BKU leader Rakesh Tikait said, "That was the reaction to the action. There was no planning involved and that doesn't amount to murder."
