Expulsion of unions by SKM wrong: Kirti Kisan Union

Chandigarh, January 24

The Kirti Kisan Union (KKU) has expressed disagreement with the SKM’s decision to expel the unions that have decided to be part of the Sanyukt Samaj Morcha. The union, however, asserted it will not contest the upcoming elections or support the SSM in their electoral endeavours.

The issues were discussed at the union’s two-day state council meeting that concluded in Hoshiarpur today.

In a statement, the union said the SKM could have expelled the leaders contesting the polls, but it was wrong to expel the unions. The SKM should ask the leaders contesting polls to resign from their organisations, but keep all unions in the SKM umbrella.

The union members also felt it was the right decision of the KKU to stop the SKM from being shifted from the Delhi borders to Burari ground. —
