Farmer groups call for Karnataka bandh on September 25 over agri-reform laws
The Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha and Aikya Horata Samithi, as well as other farmer organizations and allied outfits, are likely to hold a state-wide bandh on Friday (September 25). The talk of a strike comes as a massive rally by the farmers was conducted in Bengaluru against the BJP which is in power in both state and Union governments. The farmer groups have said they will block the national highway too, reports The News Minute on Wednesday.
A final call on holding the stir will be decided by farmer leaders later on Wednesday. So far, many labour organisations, Peace Auto and Taxi Association, Bharath Vehicles drivers Union, Ola, Uber and Taxi for Sure Owners and Drivers Association, Lorry Owners Association and others have already announced their support to the farmers.
It may be recalled that from the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), a BJP's ally, Harsimrat Kaur Badal has also resigned from the Union Cabinet in protest against three farm sector bills. She was Union Food Processing Industries Minister. SAD has also called for a similar strike in Punjab.
