Bengaluru, Sep 25 (SocialNews.XYZ) Members of the Karnataka State Farmers' Association on Friday held protests at various places against the three farm Bills passed in Parliament, which however has elicited a lukewarm response so far.
Although the farmers begun a blockade since morning to register their protests at highways entry points in Bengaluru, it received a lukewarm response as vehicular movement in CBD areas was not affected much, a senior police officer said.
Speaking to reporters, farmer leader Kuruburu Shantakumar said that there are as many as 60 entry points across Bengaluru. "Our members will protest and block these entry points in order to drive home the point that the farm bills are against the interests of farmers," he said.
Meanwhile, lack of unanimity among farmers associations came to the fore when another prominent farmer leader Kodihalli Chandrashekhar asserted that their group did not support Friday's protest.
"We are focussing on calling for a Karnataka Bandh next Monday. We will focus on that rather than invest our energy here," he said.
