Bhartiya Kisan Union to end nation-wide farmers protest on June 6

Chandigarh: Bhartiya Kisan Union on Monday announced that it will end the farmers protest in Punjab on June 6.

“Protests have been peaceful so far. In several places, farmers set up shops to sell vegetables directly to consumers which benefited everyone. But to avoid dispute between suppliers and farmers we have decided to end our protest, in Punjab, on June 6 itself.” Balbir Singh Rajewal, Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) Punjab Unit President told Media.

Farmers across various states had called for a strike to press for their demands of waiver of loans and the right price for crops.

Thousands of farmers from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana started a 10-day nationwide strike demanding waiver of loans, right price for their crops and implementation of recommendations of Swaminathan Commission.

The farmers, under the banner of the BKU, started a 10-day protest on Friday in seven states, imposing an obstruction on the movement of agriculture produce and milk from rural areas to urban centers.

JD(U) leader Khalid Anwar broke from the NDA’s stance on CAA, stating it won’t apply in Bihar. Anwar’s stance is notable as JD(U) is an ally of the BJP in Bihar. He cited JD(U) chief Nitish Kumar’s rejection of CAA, asserting that all 13 crore Bihar residents are Biharis, making CAA unnecessary. Anwar assured that he would have no worries about CAA as long as Nitish Kumar is in power.
