Agitators stage protest, burn Manusmriti

Description

Niranta Pratibhatana Dharna Samiti, a consortium of various organisations showing solidarity with farmers and to protest against the Centre’s new farm bills, entered the 11th day in Kalaburagi on Friday. Members of the Karnataka Prantha Krishi Koolikarara Sangha, Janavadi Mahila Sanghatane, Bharata Gyan Vigyan Samiti, Karnataka, Pranth Raita Sangha, All India Kisan Sabha, and progressive thinkers took out a rally from Kannada Bhavan to Jagat Circle where the agitators burnt copies of Manusmriti to register their protest against the bills. The agitators demanded that the Centre scrap the new farm laws and reinstate the old ones. “We want a legal guarantee on the Minimum Support Price and the repeal of the farm laws enacted at the Centre,” said Janavadi Sanghatane leader K. Neela. The activists accused the Modi government of resorting to delaying tactics over the farmers demands to roll back the farm laws.
