Farmers and Workers Unite: A Call Against Pro-Corporate Policies

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha and Central Trade Unions held a Mazdoor-Kisan Parliament at Jantar Mantar, Delhi, protesting against the government's pro-US and corporate policies. Demands included scrapping labour codes and an Indo-US trade deal, and ensuring minimum support prices for crops. Nationwide protests and strikes are planned.

On Monday, the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) together with Central Trade Unions (CTUs) organized a 'Mazdoor-Kisan Parliament' at Delhi's Jantar Mantar to challenge the government's alleged pro-US and corporate-aligned policies.

The SKM urged farmers and workers to prepare for widespread protests, including marking March 23 and April 1, 2026, as 'Anti-Imperialist Day' and 'All-India Black Day,' respectively, in protest against trade deals and labour codes.

Demands made during the gathering include guaranteeing a minimum support price for crops, repealing controversial trade frameworks, and decentralizing financial powers to state governments. The groups warn of ongoing national protests should the government continue with current policies.
