This is for the first time amid ongoing farmers' protest against farm laws. The Bharatiya Kisan Union (Ekta Ugrahan) members will also be present during the protest.
Though BKU Ekta Ugrahan has been coordinating with Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) but it has never shared a stage with it, neither in Punjab nor at Delhi borders.
