Jalandhar, June 10

The Kirti Kisan Union on Thursday condemned the whimsical rates being decided for paddy transplantation by some rich farmers. The union condemned their threats to boycott labourers. Members of the Kirti Kisan Union at a meeting held here on Thursday said at a time when farmers and labourers were jointly fighting against the Centre’s three farm laws, attempts at breaking up the labourer-farmer unity could only be made by divisive elements.

Kirti Kisan Union state committee member Bhupinder Singh Waraich, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Nagar president Surinder Singh Bains said farmers and labourers need to be cautious of such elements. They said the fresh statement of Union Agricultural Minister Narendra Tomar was baseless and creating illusions and doubts among farmers.
