CHANDIGARH: The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), comprising 32 farm bodies, will meet on Wednesday in Chandigarh to chalk out modalities for giving support to Jagjit Singh Dallewal-led Bharatiya Kisan Union (Sidhupur) and Kisan Mazdoor Sangarsh Committee (KMSC) led by Sarwan Singh Pandher.
Balbir Singh Rajewal, who heads a BKU faction, on Tuesday, said: "We will ponder on how to give the protesting farmer bodies support." The SKM, which had spearheaded the 2020 farmers' stir against the now-repealed farm laws, has not been part of the 'Delhi Chalo' call, though all the farm bodies are raising the same set of demands but have different viewpoints over the manner in which the protests are being held.
