Indian farmers boycott Supreme Court meeting, demand policy changes over highway clearance.

The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), a major farmers' group in India, has refused to attend a January 3 meeting with a Supreme Court-appointed committee. SKM believes the committee is focused on clearing highways blocked by protesters rather than addressing key policy issues like Minimum Support Prices. This decision follows a 37-day hunger strike by a farmer leader demanding legal guarantees for these prices.
