AHMEDABAD: A group of farmers belonging to the state chapter of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh here on Saturday staged a demonstration against World Trade Organisation agreement as part of its national protest programme. The demonstration was led by Jivanbhai Patel, according to a BKS release here.

The farmers shouted slogans demanding that the agreement should be scrapped in the larger interests of agriculturists who are not getting adequate remunerative prices for agriculture produce.

They took a pledge that they would continue their agitation till their demands were met. Similiar programmes were also held in Vadodara, Surat and Rajkot.
