Addressing a press conference here, Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) General Secretary Yudhvir Singh demanded revocation of the government decision, which he said was taken "to facilitate traders at the cost of farmers' lives". 

"This year, the yield of wheat is surplus, about 10 per cent higher compared to the last year. Yet, the government scrapped import duty first to 10 % and now completely," he said."It wants a select few to own the sector and force farmers to work under them. It wants to ruin farmers.

                           Blaming the government for wrong and anti-farmer policies, Ajmer Singh Lakhowal, President of the BKU's Punjab unit, said: "Farmers' earning is less than their expenditure. They are in great distress and they are forced to commit suicide."
