JAMMU, Mar 21: All India Confederation of SC/ST/OBC Organizations and Dalit OBC Minority (DOM) organized a meeting here in Jammu today to discuss the forthcoming Dalit Kissan Panchayat scheduled to be held at Gurdaspur, Punjab on March 25.
RK Kalsotra, State president of the Confederation – DOM said that the agenda of the meeting was to unite the like minded people for the upcoming Dalit Kisan Panchayat which are being organized at the national level to address the issues of privatization of the agriculture sector in which Kissan leaders Rakesh Tikait, Gurnam Singh along with Dr Udit Raj (National Chairman of Confederation) will participate.
He said that certain resolutions were passed at the meeting and these included the resolution to support the farmers protest in continuation across the nation, pressuring the Government to withhold privatization of crucial sectors and a Panchayat session to be hosted in Jammu.
Kalsotra highlighted that the Government has a full plan to set in motion the privatization of not just agriculture but other prominent sectors also. This will dilute the socialist principles of the constitution and turn our nation into that of rich crony capitalists, he asserted.
He said that the Dalit Kisan Panchayat is a platform to discuss the demands and grievances of the farmers who are left at the mercy of the farm law. The issues pertaining to the dilution of farmers rights would also be discussed at the Panchayat sessions, he added.
Kalsotra also added that the Confederation is also looking forward to host similar Panchayat proceedings in Jammu which will address the grievances of the farmers related to privatization. He also asked people to join in the Dalit Kisan Panchayat at Gurdaspur, Punjab on March 25 in large numbers.
Prominent others who addressed the meeting were Mohinder Tar Singh, Shahid Saleem, Narinder Singh Khalsa, Comrade Sukh Dev, Kamal Singh, Mohd Altaf Bhat, Shafi Bajad, Harasis Kranti, Shabir Rather, Ghulam Mohd Qazi, Rashpal Chand, Jatinder Singh, Ravinder Singh Khalsa, Aizaz Yiusaf, Khem Raj and Roshan Choudhary.
