The SKM has been urging people's representatives to raise their voices against the proposed India-United States Free Trade Agreement since 2020. 2. The SKM has sought the scrapping of all FTAs. 3. The SKM has only urged people's representatives to speak out against the proposed India-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement. How many of the above statements are correct?

Statement 2 is correct because the fact list states that the SKM has sought the scrapping of all FTAs.

Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Statement 1 is correct because the fact list states that the SKM has sought the scrapping of all FTAs.
