NSUI, IYC protest farm laws, lock Punjab BJP office in Chandigarh
Description
Chandigarh, October 3Members of the National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) and the Indian Youth Congress (IYC) today locked the Punjab BJP office in Sector 37 in protest against the new farm laws.“It is evident that farmers across the country are vexed with the new laws. Farmers consider it an “English law”, which used to be imposed on Indian poor farmers in the British era. The country knows that only Punjab and Haryana farmers who sell their farm products on or over MSP are far better off than other farmers in the country. Not introducing MSP means bringing all farmers into the same fate, which will be very unfortunate for the progress of country,” said Sunny Mehta, AICC member. The police later detained more than 15 members of both parties.
