Be careful. Today is Bharat Bandh, called by farmers.
Bharat Bandh: Farmers have called for a strike across India on September 27, 2021, and urged people and political parties to extend solidarity with their cause against the three farm laws passed by the central government.
The Bharat Bandh or the nationwide strike declared by farmers on September 27 to protest against the three central farm laws has garnered support from several political parties. The strike on Monday, which is to be led by the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) – an umbrella body of farmers’ unions spearheading the anti-farm law protests – has now received support from the YS Jagan Mohan Reddy-led Andhra Pradesh government; meanwhile, the Congress, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the Telugu Desam Party (TDP). And the Left parties have already extended support to the Bharat Bandh earlier.
