The Samyukt Kisan Morcha has suspended its November 29 tractor march to Parliament and it will hold a meeting on December 4 to decide its future course of action, farmer leaders said on Saturday.
The decision to suspend the march comes two days ahead of the commencement of the Winter Session of Parliament, during which a bill to repeal three central farm laws will be introduced.

The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of farmer unions protesting against the laws for the past one year, also said it wants an assurance in Parliament on their demand for a legislation guaranteeing farmers Minimum Support Price (MSP) for their crops.
Last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced that the three farm laws would be withdrawn.
Though farmer unions welcomed the government's move, they said their protest would continue until the laws are totally and formally withdrawn and other demands, including legal guarantee of MSP, are met.
