The Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC) announced a planned march towards Delhi on December 6, as farmers demand guarantees for the Minimum Support Price (MSP). The protest at the Shambhu border marks 284 days, with General Secretary Sarwan Singh Pandhair emphasizing the struggle will continue until demands are met.
Sarwan Singh Pandhair criticized the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), suggesting the party's focus on temple-mosque issues would wane post-elections in Maharashtra and Jharkhand. He alleged that such issues surface primarily during election periods to create societal division.
The farm leader also addressed the distress in Manipur, urging Prime Minister Narendra Modi to intervene amid reports of youth harassment by police forces. Pandhair highlighted protests across Punjab, as farmers block national highways demanding government action on various grievances.
