Movement will continue till objectives are achieved, says Hiremath

Condemning the State Government for not responding to the demand made by Janandolanagala Maha Maitri, a broad conglomeration of people’s movements, maitri convenor S.R. Hiremath has said that the agitation will continue till the objectives are achieved.

“The State Government has not fulfilled our demand, though farmers have been protesting against the Karnataka Land Reforms (Amendment) Act 1961, Karnataka Agricultural Produces Marketing Committee (APMC) Act 1966 and the Karnataka Prevention of Slaughter and Preservation of Cattle Act 2020. The State Government continues to be unwilling to repeal these laws. The movement will continue till the objectives are achieved,” Mr. Hiremath told a media conference in Kalaburagi on Wednesday.

The press meet was also attended and addressed by honorary president of Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha Chamarasa Malipatil, State president of Karnataka Rajya Raitha Sangha Badagalpur Nagendra, State president of All India Democratic Youth Organisation Sharanappa Udbal and Jan Sangram Parishat leader Khaja Aslam.
