Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], December 7 (ANI): Punjab farmers on Monday raised slogans at the site of the new BJP office in Amritsar whose foundation stone was going to be laid.

The farmers, who were taking part in a bike rally to make people aware about the nationwide shutdown on December 8, received information that the foundation ceremony was going to be held.

The farmers said that such programmes should not be held at a time when they were protesting at the national capital's border against the farm laws.

On the other hand, BJP workers said this was a conspiracy of the opposition parties. Talks between the Centre and the farmers are scheduled to be held on December 9 when the two parties will come up with solutions, they said.

However, the situation is under control, according to the police. (ANI)
