Farmers reject Centre’s offer; to resume march to Delhi on February 21

Rejecting the Centre’s offer to procure five crops on minimum support price (MSP) for five years based on a contract system, protesting farmers in Punjab on February 19 announced that they would restart their ‘Delhi Chalo’ march on February 21.

The Kisan Mazdoor Morcha and the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) — the two umbrella bodies of around 200 farmers’ and farm labourer unions — had given the call for the ‘Delhi Chalo’ march as they planned to lay siege to the national capital to press for the fulfilment of their demands, which include a legal guarantee for MSP.
