New Delhi: Farmers protesting against the new farm laws at Ghazipur, Singhu borders, and in Punjab, Haryana and other places and cities of India have started their day-long hunger strike on Monday.
Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader said:
"The day-long hunger strike started at 8 a.m. will end at 5 p.m. This is today's strategy and if the government still does not agree to our demands, we will decide a new strategy for tomorrow. The leaders on hunger strike will address a press conference in the evening."
