Stop train movement in Punjab even on Gandhi Jayanti day, farmers still in protest mood against agricultural law

- Delhi is also under siege

New Delhi on Friday, October 2, 2020

The agitation started by the farmers' unions against the new agriculture law framed by the central government continued till Gandhi Jayanti today and there were reports of farmers blocking trains in Punjab.

The farmers' unions also announced to continue protests in Delhi and Uttar Pradesh. The BJP leaders were saying that the farmers had resorted to agitation without fully understanding the provisions of the law. The Prime Minister, in a function on the occasion of Pandit Dindayal Sharma's birth anniversary, asked the party workers to go to the farmers and explain to them the truth about the law.

But the agitation was going on in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Karnataka etc. by the Kisan Sanghs. In Punjab and Chandigarh in particular, farmers, including women, fell asleep on the tracks so that the train could not move.

Most importantly, with more than one assembly election looming, the Congress, SP, BSP, Akali Dal, Trinamool Congress and the Left have expressed their full support for the Kisan Sangh movement.

Meanwhile, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi announced that tomorrow, October 3, I too will join the agitation with farmers in Punjab.
