Farmers' march: Cops use water cannon, tear gas on farmers protesting against new farm laws
In a show of solidarity with farmers protesting at Delhi borders seeking revocation of three contentious agricultural laws introduced by the Modi government, farmers from all parts of Karnataka have planned a tractor rally in Bengaluru on Republic Day.
The rally reportedly will also be in protest against the Karnataka government which has enacted similar anti-farmer legislations.
Movement of the farmers
Badagalapura Nagendra, a senior leader of the Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha (KRRS), has said that this is "a movement of the farmers and the workers". Irrespective of the organisations with which farmers are affiliated to, he said the rally will be a "united one".
