Government is on a path of withdrawing support to agriculture, say farmer leaders
Farmer leaders heading the agitation against the three farm laws on Monday announced to block the national and State highways across the country on February 6 in support of their demands.
Making the announcement, Balbir Singh Rajewal, who heads a faction of the Bharatiya Kisan Union in Punjab, accused the government of repression by blocking roads around the protest sites, suspending Internet services and snapping the water and power supply at the three sites. He was addressing a joint press conference by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, a coalition of farmer unions, at the Singhu border here.
