In a blow to farmers protesting against the three contentious agri laws, two unions withdrew their support from the agitation at the borders of Delhi. The announcement came a day after violence broke out in the national capital during the tractor parade on Republic Day. Talking to reporters, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Bhanu) president Thakur Bhanu Pratap Singh said he was deeply pained by whatever happened during the tractor parade in the national capital, adding that his union was ending its protest. The union was staging the protest at the Chilla border. VM Singh of All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee said that it is withdrawing from the ongoing agitation as they cannot carry forward a protest with someone “whose direction is something else”.
