After protesting for over a year, farmers decide to end the protest as the government agrees to all their demands. “We have decided to suspend our agitation. We will hold a review meeting on January 15. If the government doesn’t fulfill its promises, we could resume our agitation,” Farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni following a meeting of Samyukta Kisan Morcha in Delhi.
The Government of India has sent a formal letter to protesting farmers, with promises of forming a committee on MSP and withdrawing cases against them immediately. “As far as the matter of compensation is concerned, UP and Haryana have given in-principle consent,” the letter reads.
