Chandigarh, October 7
Rejecting the Centre’s offer for talks, Punjab farmers have decided to intensify their agitation against the new farm laws over the next seven days.
Thirty farmers’ unions, at a meeting today, asked the Punjab Government to hold a special Assembly session by October 15 to nullify the laws passed by the Centre failing which they would protest outside the houses of Congress leaders.
“We will observe a two-hour bandh in Punjab on October 9 from 4pm to 6 pm in solidarity with Haryana farmers,” said BKU leader Balbir S Rajewal.
