A Mahapanchayat of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha was held in Moga, Punjab today. During the meeting, it was decided to support the ongoing agitation at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders with full unity from all the farmer organizations. This will mark the first time that the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha, along with the farmer unions it includes, will participate in the current farmer agitation.

Until now, for about 11 months, only Jagjit Singh Dallewal's Sanyukt Kisan Morcha Non-Political and Sarwan Singh Pandher's Kisan Mazdoor Morcha have been leading the protests at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders.

The Mahapanchayat also decided that copies of the draft of the Central Agricultural Marketing Policy will be burned at the tehsil level on January 13, and a tractor march will be organized on January 26.

Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait stated that their coordination committee will visit the Khanauri Morcha tomorrow. He added that if the organizations in Punjab unite, the entire country will stand united.
