‘Agitation against farm laws going strong’
A fresh batch of farmers from Punjab started their march to the Delhi border on Monday to participate in the ongoing agitation against the Centre’s controversial farm laws.
Several groups of farmers from different regions mainly from Sangrur, Ludhiana, Mansa, Barnala, Patiala, Jalandhar, Nawanshahr and Ropar districts of Punjab left for the ‘Singhu and Tikri’ border of Delhi in vehicles.
Tens of thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at several places on the Delhi borders for many months, demanding a repeal of three farm laws.

Govt. trying to defame agitation by provoking violence, says BKU leader
The BJP on Saturday came under sharp criticism from farmer outfits and political parties, a day after violence broke out at Delhi’s Singhu border during a protest reportedly by ‘locals’ seeking to evict agitating farmers from the protest site. Farmers have been protesting against the Centre’s farm laws for over two months at different sites on Delhi’s borders.
