continue the Farmers' struggle &
Don't waste time on Vote Politics
Bharti Kisan Union ( BKU EKTA UGRAHAN ) issues a clarion call to continue the struggle on the burning issues of Farmers.
Reacting to the issue of some farmers unions of Punjab on their decision to contest the coming elections, Bharti Kisan Union ( BKU EKTA UGRAHAN ) stated that struggling farmer unions instead of getting entangled in the vote politics of the rulers the farmer unions should concentrate on the farmers issues. State President Joginder Singh Ugrahan and the General Secretary Sukhdev Singh Kokri Kala of the organisation said that the farmers ‘ struggle against the farm laws has also proved that the rights and interests of farmers cannot be saved and ensured by sitting in the Parliament or Assemblies rather the same can be achieved only by struggle in the open at mass and community level. The leaders said that still only three farm laws have been repealed whereas the major issues like the MSP and total loan waiver are pending and are yet to be resolved . For solution of these problems farmers should always rely upon the mass struggles. There are many big challenges before the kisan movement and kisan leaders should concentrate their all energies on the broad basing and strengthening their struggles to face and resolve these challenges.
The leader stated that the stand of their organization is very clear that they neither shall participate in elections nor shall support any party. They have not issued any call for boycott of elections either. We consider the present electoral politics as a derailing and misleading activity for the people and therefore call shall be issued to maintain their unity . Besides this along with the issues of farmers , the issues of toiling masses and the basic issues shall be made a focus. And for the resolution of these issues call shall be issued to the masses to rely upon the struggles.
They also clarified that they shall always make efforts to keep and maintain the farmers’ Unity. They also clarified that the attitude towards the organizations participating in the elections, shall also be decided on the basis of their approach towards the resolution of the problems and protection of the interests of the farmers practically.
They said that the position and stand of the Nationwide Sanyukat Kisan Morcha that emerged in the struggle against farm laws , is that SKM shall not participate in elections in any manner whatsoever. Therefore the decision of the farmers organizations to participate n elections is the decision of those organizations individually and it has nothing to do with the Sanyukat Kisan Morcha.
Kisan leaders informed that for the implementation of the demands conceded by Punjab Government and for getting accepted other burning issues like loan waiver , Organisation is holding day and night pakka morchas ( permanent sittings) in front of the DC or SDM offices in 15 districts of the state .
