During a press conference, the SKM said 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 agriculture laws inside the House.
Parliament’s monsoon session is set to begin on July 19.
“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.

“We will continue protesting outside Parliament till they hear our demands,” Charuni said. He added that five people from each farmer union would be taken to join the protest.
The SKM also called for a nationwide protest on July 8 against the rising prices of petrol, diesel and LPG cylinders. It asked people to come out and park their vehicles on state and national highways from 10 am till 12 pm.
“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,” he said. He also asked for LPG cylinders to be brought to the protest.
