Bharat Bandh: Those who raised the slogan of 'I will not sell the country' have broken the back of public by their exploits, says Congress

Congress continues its attack on the BJP government by throwing its weight behind farmer organisations in protest against the recently passed amedments to Farm Bills. Several farmers’ organisations including the All India Kisan Sangharsh Coordination Committee (AIKSCC), Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU), Indian Coordination Committee of Farmers Movements (ICCFM) called for ‘Bharat Bandh’. Hundreds of farmers led by 35 farmers' outfits blocked major highways and State Highways in and around Bengaluru. Small, marginal farmers, who are 86 per cent, will benefit the most from agriculture reforms, said PM Modi at virtual address to BJP leaders. He also asked partymen to counter rumours regarding the Farm Bills. Farmers in Tamil Nadu protested in human skulls, chained hands. Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee decided to extend 'rail roko' agitation in Punjab.
