Farmers To March To Raj Bhavans Across The Country
Farmer unions will take out marches to Raj Bhavans across the country on Saturday to mark two years since they launched their agitation against three farm laws of the Centre that have since been scrapped. The marches will also register the farmers' protest against non-fulfilment of various promises by the government, farmer leaders said on Friday.
Farmer leaders claimed that the government had given to them in writing that it would hold a discussion and bring a law for minimum support price (MSP) of crops, but nothing has been done so far.
Thousands of farmers, particularly from Punjab, Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh, protested at the borders of the national capital for over a year demanding the repeal of the three farm laws. Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced repealing the three laws in November. The protest was called off subsequently.

Following the Apex court's order on Friday, Teltumbde's lawyers completed bail formalities before the special NIA court judge Rajesh Katariya here. Teltumbde is lodged in the Taloja jail in neighbouring Navi Mumbai since his arrest in April 2020.
The Bombay High Court on November 18 granted bail to him, noting that prima facie there was no evidence to show his involvement in any terror activity.
