Shouting anti-BJP slogans, groups of farmers were seen holding demonstrations and burning copies of the farm laws outside or near residences and offices of leaders of the BJP and its political alliance partners in much of Punjab and Haryana. Sarvan Singh Pandher, general secretary of the KMSC in Amritsar, accused the BJP of imposing a “pro-corporate agenda” on farmers and labourers. The entire country has come together and is raising voice against the farm laws, yet the BJP government continues to be indifferent to the miseries of the farming community. “In many places across the country, houses and offices of BJP leaders were gheraoed. Scores of farmers have been camping for months now at several places at Delhi’s borders, demanding a repeal of the three farm laws.
