The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmer unions, on Tuesday, 19 July, rejected the government's committee on Minimum Support Price (MSP), saying that the "so-called farmer leaders" who supported the now-repealed farm laws are its members.

The government on Monday formed a committee on MSP, eight months after it promised to set up such a panel while withdrawing the three contentious farm laws.

Former agriculture secretary Sanjay Agrawal will be the chairman of the committee.

The government has made a provision to include three members from SKM in the panel.
