Farmers’ body to protest Amit Shah’s Punjab Visit; Announces morcha outside Amritsar DC Office on March 19
Ferozepur, March 1, 2026: Kisan Mazdoor Morcha (KMM) has announced that it will protest the Punjab visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah on March 4 over various pending demands concerning farmers and labourers.
A crucial meeting of the Morcha was held on March 1, at Kisan Bhawan, Chandigarh, under the leadership of Jaswinder Singh Longowal, Dilbagh Singh Gill and Balwant Singh Behramke. Addressing the media, the leaders said a major protest (Morcha) would begin on March 19 outside the Deputy Commissioner’s office in Amritsar (Majha region).
The key demands include compensation for losses and alleged theft of tractor-trolleys at Shambhu and Khanauri protest sites, release of pending compensation for injured farmers and families of the deceased, immediate disbursal of flood compensation, and withdrawal of all police, railway and stubble-burning cases registered against farmers and labourers during the agitation.
The Morcha also resolved to hold protests at district headquarters during Amit Shah’s Punjab tour, including effigy burning of the Modi government, accusing it of adopting anti-farmer and anti-labour policies.
Among other demands, the organisation called for scrapping of the proposed India–US agreement, Electricity Amendment Bill 2025, Seed Act 2025 and the four Labour Codes. It also demanded restoration of MGNREGA, farm loan waiver and enactment of a legal guarantee for MSP.
The meeting further condemned the alleged fake police encounter in Gurdaspur leading to the death of Ranjit Singh, demanding an impartial probe and justice for the family. Support was also extended to the March 6 anti-repression rally in Bathinda.
Senior leaders including Sarwan Singh Pandher, Jaswinder Singh Longowal and Amarjit Singh Mohri were present at the meeting. The Morcha reiterated that its struggle for farmers’ rights would continue and be intensified in the coming days.
