New Delhi: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) National Spokesperson Rakesh Tikait announced that farmers will burn the copies of new farm laws on June 5 to mark the first year of the creation of the laws.

He informed that the kutcha houses built on the dharna sites will be transformed into concrete homes following the upcoming rainy season as the protest will continue for a longer time.
He said that farmer's protest is gaining momentum and is getting support from all across the globe.
"Until Centre dismisses these anti-farmer laws, the movement will continue and spread across the nation," the BKU leader said.
Naming a few media channels, he claimed that they are working as the spokespersons of the Bharatiya Janata Party.
During his visit to Rampur, he participated in an Ardas at Matkheda in Bilaspur and also sought blessings from Baba Anoop Singh.
He also sat on a dharna at the coal toll plaza to motivate farmers staging a protest there.

Taking to Twitter, the farmer leader said that speaking against 'Raja' makes you worthy of punishments.
"Inflation has increased so much. If anyone raises his voice against the government, he is punished. Speaking against the 'Raja' means getting punished. Is he the 'Raja'? He is becoming like Kim Jong Un so that no one can raise his voice," Tikait tweeted.
Notably, farmers have been protesting at the different borders of the national capital since November 26 against the three newly enacted farm laws: Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
