Farmer Unions have called for a Bharat Bandh today on December 8. Security has been increased at key protest sites on Delhi’s borders. Shops in Mumbai are shut as a precautionary measure.
Shah told reporters that a proposal will be given to farmer leaders on Wednesday. Farmer leaders will hold a meeting to discuss the proposal.
There was a meeting scheduled to take place on Dec 9 but this was before the Bharat Bandh was announced. Post the meeting that Amit Shah had with protesting farmers on Dec 8, the Wednesday's meeting has been called off.
मोदी जी, किसानों से चोरी बंद करो!

शेतकरी हा अन्नदाता आहे. समाजातील कोणत्याही घटकात जर असंतोष असेल तर त्यांच्याशी चर्चा करुन त्यावर तोडगा काढणे ही सरकारची नैतिक जबाबदारी आहे.
