The SKM had led an over a year-long agitation against the Centre's now-repealed three farm laws. It suspended the movement in December 2021 following a government assurance to consider the farmers' pending demands, including the withdrawal of cases lodged against farmers during the agitation and a legal guarantee for MSP.
What are the demands of farmers?
> Waive the loan.
> Ban on foreign investment in the agriculture sector.
> 300 units of free electricity to farmers for pumping sets.
> Every farmer should be given a pension of ₹5,000 per month.
> All the cases filed during the farmer's movement should be withdrawn.
> Implement LARR 2013
