Farmers to take part in ‘Parliament chalo'

KOLAR: Farmers from Karnataka will take part in a “Parliament chalo” agitation organised by All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) on March 11 in support of the demands, including protection of freedom of seeds and land right. Amendment to existing laws detrimental to the interests of farmers was among the demands, G.C. Bayya Reddy, general secretary of Karnataka Prantha Raitha Sangha, an affiliate of AIKS, told presspersons here on Tuesday. He said that both the Union and State budgets have a common agenda in terms of corporatisation of the agriculture sector pushing the farmers out of their land, he said.
