Protest was staged in response to the call given by Samyukt Kisan Morcha
Members of various farmers organisations, trade unions and political parties hoisted black flags atop their homes and staged protests in the central districts on Wednesday to express solidarity with those agitating against the three farm laws in New Delhi and to press the Union government to repeal the legislation. The protest was staged in response to the call given by Samyukt Kisan Morcha to observe May 26 as Black Day, marking six months of farmers’ protests in New Delhi. At Mannargudi, P.R. Pandian, president, Coordination Committee of Tamil Nadu All Farmers’ Associations, staged a demonstration after hoisting a black flag atop his house. “Lakhs of farmers are risking their lives to stage the protest against the farm laws, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been stubborn in refusing to hold talks with them. The Centre should come forward to repeal the three laws,” Mr. Pandian demanded and welcomed Chief Minister M.K. Stalin’s reported assurance that a resolution would be adopted in the Assembly against the three laws.
