Farmers to lay siege to Parliament: BKU
The Hindu
‘After snatching our farming, the government is planning to target the dairy sector’
The Bharatiya Kisan Union has said that farmers would picket Parliament in the next session. Dharmendra Malik, media in-charge, BKU, said following the Samyukt Kisan Morcha’s decision, the BKU, which is leading the protest against the contentious farm laws, has decided to take the protest peacefully to Parliament in the next session. “BJP spokespersons are repeatedly saying that there is nothing black in the farm laws. We challenge them to come on a public platform and we will explain to them what is wrong with the laws,” Mr. Malik said. He took on the government for being eager to sign the Free Trade Agreement with the European Union on dairy industry. “After snatching our farming, the government is planning to wean us of our dairy farming. Along with the farm laws, we oppose the FTA on dairy industry as well. It will help importing dairy products from big players like Denmark and will affect local farmers,” he said.More Related News
