The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) hailed the Union government's proposal for discussions with farmers as a significant victory on Sunday, lauding fasting farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal's choice to accept medical care.

In a statement, SKM highlighted the government's decision to engage in talks as an outcome of farmers' increased unity and persistent protests led by the group since the 2020-21 agitation against the now-repealed farm laws.

The SKM also condemned the National Policy Framework on Agricultural Marketing, labeling it a step back to the abolished laws, and called for farmers to continue protesting against anti-farmer policies.
