BATHINDA: The release of farm activists Makhan Sing, Ravi Azad and Vikas Sisir has been termed as victory of sorts by the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (
SKM
).
It is after mounting pressure and unrelenting resistance of farmers that the
Haryana administration agreed to concede the demands of the protesting farmers, in the
Tohana
incidents, the morcha claimed on Monday evening.
The group claimed that after farmers' unions announced a plan of state-wide gherao of all police stations in Haryana, the administration released two activists of SKM Vikas Sisar and Ravi Azad in the middle of the night.
They also reached the protest site at Tohana Police Station on Monday.
SKM stated that a decision was taken on June 4 that the social boycott and protests against leaders of
BJP and allies will be in the context of their official programs (government or political), and not personal or private events (like weddings, funerals etc).
SKM has decided to mark the martyrdom of Banda Singh Bahadur, a valiant warrior who gave land rights to the tillers of the land, at protest sites on June 9.
