Central Kisan Committee meeting commences in Kannur
Kannur, June 29 (UNI) The two-day meeting of the Central Kisan Committee (CKC), the executive body of the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS), began at the EK Nayanay Academy, near here, on Sunday. AIKS President Ashok Dhawle hoisted the flag in the morning, as part of the inaugural function, and all the CKC members paid tributes at the martyrs column, honouring the sacrifices of those who laid down their lives in the struggle to uplift the lives of the Indian farmers. Ashok Dhawle said "In the light of increasing attacks on farmers and working people, the CKC meeting strongly emphasised the need to mobilise the peasantry across the country and work for the success of the All India Strike on July 9th, jointly called by the Joint Platform of Central Trade Unions and the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM). Farmers and agricultural workers will have massive demonstrations across India taking up their demands.' AIKS General Secretary Viju Krishnan presented the Draft Report, which analysed the current developments in the agrarian sector and the intensifying economic crisis that continues to grip workers and peasants across the country. The report is critical of the signing of a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United Kingdom and the impending agreement with the United States, scheduled to be signed by July 9, 2025. These FTAs the report believes will drastically reduce or eliminate import duties on key agricultural products, threatening the livelihoods of millions of Indian farmers. The CKC meeting in Kannur will deliberate in detail on strategies to intensify struggles in defence of farmers' rights, resist pro-corporate policies, and strengthen unity with the working class to confront the 'anti-people direction of the current BJP-RSS regime'. On Saturday about 75 members of the CKC were given a warm reception by the Kerala Karshaka Sangham (state unit of the AIKS). The CKC Members visited historical sites of peasant resistance against feudal landlords and British imperialism in northern Kerala-Karivellur and Kayyur, these two regions hold a proud legacy in the history of the peasant movement in India. The delegation also visited the historic Bekal Fort in Kasaragod. UNI AK RKM
