Farmers protest in the National Capital – demand cancellation of the three new Farm Acts.

The Narendra Modi government has undemocratically passed new three Farm Acts, in the last session of the Parliament. Through these Acts, the protections that the farmers had all along been getting, like the Minimum Support Price, etc. have been cancelled and they have been thrown to the looting of Indian and Foreign corporates. Hence, the farmers of many States, particularly Punjab and Haryana, are agitating, demanding the repealing of the three Farm Acts. On 26-11-2020, the farmers tried to enter into Delhi and organise their massive protests. However, the Delhi Police did not permit them and used force to disperse them. The  farmers on the other hand, are determined to take their agitation into the National Capital. BSNLEU strongly supports this justified struggle of the farmers. Cancellation of the new Farm Acts was one of the 7 demands on which the Central Trade Unions  ORGANISED the General Strike on 26-11-2020.
