The Samyukta Horataka Karnataka, a federation of various farmer organisations, has announced a statewide protest on Sunday demanding the implementation of a law guaranteeing the Minimum Support Price (MSP).

At a press conference on Friday, the organisation’s convenor, V K Bhat, asked the Union government to withdraw all the cases against farmers who protested against the farmer laws. He also demanded that Ajay Mishra be sacked from the Union cabinet.

He accused the government of going back on its promise of fulfilling the demands of farmers.

In Bengaluru, the protest will take place at Freedom Park. This apart, district-level farmer conventions will be held on August 9.
