Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Hasiru Sene State president Kodihalli Chandrashekar has urged people from all sections of society to support Bharat Bandh on September 27 called in protest against the new farm laws brought by the Centre.
Addressing presspersons here on Wednesday, Mr. Chandrashekar said that with the enactment of the three farm laws — Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020, Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and facilitation) Act 2020 and Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020, farmers fear that they will lead to the abolishment of minimum support price.
These laws will push the agriculture sector from being government-run to a private-run sector, he added. He accused the Centre of not responding to the farmers protest that has been going on for the last 10 months near Delhi.
