Farmers belonging to various outfits held protests in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana on Monday over the non-fulfilment of promises made to the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) at the time of suspension of their year-long agitation.
The protests, held as part of the nationwide ‘Vishwasghat Diwas’ (Betrayal Day) called by the SKM, elicited a mixed reaction in Uttar Pradesh. Farmers led by the Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) presented a memorandum addressed to President Ram Nath Kovind at the tehsil and district headquarters across the State.
