Title

BKU to hold protest today

Description

The Bharatiya Kisan Union’s Haryana unit will hold a State-wide protest against the Centre’s farm Bills on Sunday and block roads for three hours, even as Chief Minister Manohar Lal appealed for deferring the stir and invited them for talks. Haryana BKU chief Gurnam Singh said the Centre did not withdraw the three ordinances and presented them as Bills which have been passed in the Lok Sabha. “Tomorrow, we will be holding a protest and block roads for three hours. However, the GT Road will not be blocked,” he said on Saturday. He said farmers from Haryana and Punjab will start a movement against the anti-farmer measures.
