Farmers’ associations to observe October 3 as black day in Andhra Pradesh

Andhra Pradesh Rythu Sanghala Samanvaya Samithi has decided to observe October 3 as black day across the State as a mark of protest against the Lakhimpur Kheri incident that happened in Uttar Pradesh in 2021 in which eight people lost their lives.

Addressing the media here on September 19 (Tuesday), Samithi State coordinator Vadde Sobhanadreeswara Rao said that the protests would be staged in all mandals and districts in the State. 

The Samithi urged the farmers to take part in the protest and press for the demand that the Union government dismiss Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Ajay K. Mishra. The farmers should demand that the Central government take stringent action against the persons who were responsible for the killing of farmers who were staging a protest against the farm laws, he said.
