SKM is the umbrella body of more than 40 protesting farmers’ unions and it said during a press conference that two days prior to the beginning of the session, a “chetavani patra” (warning letter) will be given to all the opposition Members of Parliament (MPs) to protest the three agri laws inside the House.We will also ask the opposition MPs on July 17 to raise the issue every day inside the House while we will sit outside in protest. We will tell them not to benefit the Centre by walking out of a session. Don’t let the session run till the government addresses the issue,” farmer leader Gurnam Singh Charuni said, as per PTI.”We will continue protesting outside Parliament till they hear our demands,” PTI quoted Charuni as saying, adding that five persons from each farmer union will be taken to join the protest.

The SKM has also called for a nationwide agitation on July 8 or Monday against the rising prices of petrol, diesel and LPG cylinders in the country.

The body has asked people to come out and park the vehicles at the state and national highways from 10am to 12pm.

“Whatever vehicle you have, tractor, trolley, car, scooter, just bring it to the nearest state or national highway and park it there. But don’t create a traffic jam,” PTI quoted him as saying, as he also asked to bring the LPG cylinders to the protest.
