Farmers don't accept govt assurance, continue their protest

October 02, 2018 16:20

Yudhvir Singh, Gen Secretary, Bharatiya Kisan Union, has said that the government has met four-five of their demands and as a result of that they will continue with their protest.

There was no consensus on farm loan waiver and implementation of the Swaminathan Commission's recommendations.

The rally by members of the Bhartiya Kisan Union took a violent turn with police resorting to firing water cannons and tear-gas shells to keep the angry farmers from crossing into Delhi.

Several farmers have been injured while the Haryana unit chief of the BKU is unconscious after a tear gas shell exploded close to his face.
