Chandigarh, Dec 20 (IANS): A 22-year-old farmer, who returned from the protest near the Delhi border, on Sunday allegedly committed suicide after consuming some poisonous substance in his village in Punjab's Bathinda district, police said on Sunday.

Gurlabh Singh, a resident of Dayalpura Mirza village, had returned to his village late Saturday from the protest site.

He was taken to the nearby hospital where he was declared dead.

The reason behind the suicide was yet to be ascertained, the police said.

Thousands of farmers, largely from Punjab, Haryana and Uttar Pradesh, have been staging protests on the national capital's borders, demanding three laws passed by the Narendra Modi government be revoked, fearing these will affect their livelihoods.

    the Count of Farmers dying at the protest sites is growing every day. Modi and the BJP are responsble for this sad state of affairs. It is clear to the people of our country that these three farm bills was a dubious case of match fixing by Modi and Amit Shah for their crony capitalists friends like Ambani and Adani. The elaborate advance preparations , go downs, super markets, land acquisitions and other arrangements by industrialists Abmani and Adani are already in the public domain. These crony capitalists will then dominate the agriculture sector and render the farmers vulnerable and vanquished.

    The BJP Govt has made a mockery of Parlimentary Democracy by passing these Farm Bills without any discussion in the house or taken any of the stake holders into confidence. They finally passed it in the Rajya Sabha in a most deceitful manner through a voice vote just to please their Crony Capitalist friends at the expense of the Farmers.

    A Suit Boot Ki Sarkar that is totally insensitive, Callous, Indifferent, Arrogant and Autocratic that cares two hoots for the lower sections of our society including farmers.
    If Agriculture is a State subject the why has the center passed Bills on Farm Laws on Agriculture.
