"A memorial in the name of farmers' agitation will be set up in Punjab," said Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi on Friday.

Blaming the Centre for "thrusting" farm laws on farmers, CM Channi, in an official statement, said, "The BJP-led Central Government should admit on record to have made a Himalayan blunder in bringing these bills for which it hardly bothered to even relent for the past one and half years."
He also sought compensation for the state on account of financial and property losses during the Kisan Morcha.
