Farmer unions on Wednesday issued a call for Bharat bandh on 26 March, when their protest at Delhi’s borders against the Centre’s three new farm laws completes four months.
Farmer leader Buta Singh Burjgill said that farmers along with trade unions will protest the hike in fuel prices and privatisation of railways on 15 March. “We will observe a complete Bharat bandh on March 26, when our protest against the three farm laws completes four months. The peaceful bandh will remain effective from morning till evening,” he told reporters at the Singhu border.
On 19 March, the farmers will observe ‘Mandi Bachao-Kheti Bachao’ day, he said.
The farmer unions have also decided to celebrate ‘Shaheedi divas’ of Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev, Burjgill added.
Farmer union leaders also said that copies of the new farm laws will be burnt during ‘Holika Dahan’ on 28 March.
Thousands of farmers, mostly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, have been camping at the Delhi border points—Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur border—for over four months, demanding the repeal of farm laws.
