Even after the Government repealed the three farmers’ laws, new demands were placed before the Government by the farmers. These demands include the withdrawal of the charges on the farmers during the agitation, to give reimbursement to the families of the farmers who died during the agitation, not to charge for burning the crops, etc. The farmers had demanded a committee to discuss the minimum support price. The Samyukta Kisan Morcha will themselves choose the members of this committee.
