New Delhi: The protest and agitation against the farm laws completed six months on Wednesday as the farmer across the country marked it as ‘Black Day of Farmers’. The protest which started on December 26 last year, went on to become a clash between farmers and Delhi Police on the Republic Day this year. There were huge clashes taking place on the roads of National Capital.
Some farmers even entered the Red Fort to hoist the ‘Khalsa Flag’ which started a long controversy. Since then, the movement lost its support as some believed that the violence was wrong. The media coverage also reduced significantly but the farmers stood their ground as they are still living on the borders of the Delhi demanding a withdrawal of the farm laws by the Central govt.
Thousands of people in Punjab hoisted black flags in their homes to mark this day.

किसान आंदोलन को दिल्ली की सीमाओं पर चलते आज 6माह हो चुके है लेकिन अफसोस सरकार ने अभीतक किसानों की मांगों का कोई समाधान नहीं निकाला हैं इसलिए आज देशभर के किसान काला दिन मना रहे हैं

Farmers are the backbones of humanity. Indian farmers protests since 6 months for their rights&justice. Arrogant & adamant Modi- BJP govt dedicated to favor corporates by sacrificing the rights& privileges of our farmers.
WE SUPPORT FARMERS.

Today #Black_Day_Of_Farmers is in trend because the farmers say that they called us the Earth, called us Annadata, called us followers, but for the last 6 months, our demands have not been accepted and nowadays the conversation is over.
