Samyukta Kisan Morcha suspends Haryana farmer leader Chaduni for a week over remarks on Punjab polls

The farmers' body has suspended Haryana BKU leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni for suggesting that farmers should contest the 2022 Punjab Assembly election.

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) on Wednesday suspended Haryana BKU leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni for seven days for suggesting that Punjab farmer outfits involved in the stir against the Centre's three farm laws should contest the state assembly polls next year. The SKM, which is an umbrella body of various farmer unions protesting the Centre's farm laws, also said that it will go ahead with its planned protests in BJP-ruled Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, where assembly elections are due to be held in 2022.
