"The central government issued three anti-farmer and anti-people agricultural ordinances on June 5 of last year. There has been a tremendous protest against these agricultural rules, and a movement has been taking place at Delhi's borders for more than six months "In a statement, the morcha claimed. 

According to the statement, the SKM would observe Sampoorna Kranti Diwas on June 5 and burn copies of agricultural legislation outside the offices and houses of BJP and affiliated party officials. Copies of laws will be burned in front of administrative offices if these leaders are not present.
