The leaders of over 40 organisations under the banner of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha have disassociated themselves from the violent incidents that rocked the national capital on Tuesday.
During a press conference on Wednesday, the group issued a statement alleging the central government hatched a conspiracy with the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee to defame the peaceful struggle of the farmers' organisations.
"Along with some individuals and organizations, like Deep Sidhu and Kisan Majdoor Sangarsh Committee led by Satnam Singh Pannu, the government made this movement violent. We clarify that we dissociate ourselves from violent actions which took place at Red Fort and other parts of Delhi," the SKM said in a statement.
All this and more, in this week's India Diary.
