A day after the violence during the farmers' tractor rally in different parts of the national capital, Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan on Wednesday withdrew themselves from the protest. 

I can't carry forward protest with someone whose direction is different. I wish them best but VM Singh & Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan are withdrawing from the protest, said VM Singh, Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sangathan & All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee

I have nothing to do with the protest which is being led by them and over here being represented by Rakesh Tikait on their , said Sardar VM Singh. 

Farmers have been protesting on the different borders of the national capital since November 26 last year against the three newly enacted farm laws - Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
