Kurukshetra/Rohtak, September 19

In continuation with their protest against the three controversial farm Bills, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Charuni) activists will block roads across the state from noon to 3 pm on Sunday.

Gurnam Singh Chaduni, BKU (Charuni) chief, at a meeting in Rohtak accused the BJP-JJP government buckling under the pressure of the Modi government. He appealed to people to observe September 20 as a black day and participate in the nationwide bandh on September 25.

Rakesh Bains, BKU (Charuni) spokesman, said: “The BKU is ready for discussions, but the Centre is adamant on not amending the Bills. Hence, we have no option, but to protest. The decision on which roads are to be blocked has been left to district units.”

Akhil Bharatiya Kisan Sabha (ABKS) leader Preet Singh said the BJP government was misleading the country by telling lies that the MSP regime would not be dismantled.
