Punjab: Sanyukta Kisan Morcha to show black flags to Gurnam Singh Charuni, here's why
The Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) has decided to show black flags to Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Gurnam Singh Charuni, who participated in political activities in Punjab.
Gurnam Singh Charuni was allegedly earning the ire of the farmers’ outfit for giving the “Mission Punjab” call. Farmer leader Balbir Singh Rajewal has said that the decision was taken in a recent meeting.

The Sankyukta Kisan Morcha has raised objections to Charuni’s involvement in political activities. "Politics is not SKM’s domain and farmers’ outfit will oppose anyone with the political motive,” said Rajewal.
However, Rajewal denied any rift in the SKM.
The development comes after Charuni called off his outfit’s Tikri march. Charuni claimed that he did not want to send out the wrong message in view of the SKM’s “padyatra”.
He also said that Punjab leaders were jealous of him because of 'his popularity'.
“The farmers’ outfit will review the decision on the march in the next meeting. The march will be up to Singhu and Tikri borders, not India Gate,” Rajewal had said.
