Chandigarh, June 5
Farmers burnt copies of the Centre s three farm laws near residences of BJP leaders and at other places in Punjab and Haryana on Saturday, observing the day of the promulgation of the farm ordinances last year as Sampoorna Kranti Diwas .
Farmers carrying black flags raised slogans against the BJP-led central government for not scrapping the legislation which, they said, will destroy the farming community.
Security personnel were deployed and barricades put up near the protest sites to maintain law and order.
The call for observing Sampoorna Kranti Diwas was given by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of the protesting farmer unions, spearheading the agitation against the farm laws.
