Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday warned the Centre that if an attempt is made to forcibly remove the protesting farmers from the borders of the national capital, then they will turn government offices across the country into 'galla mandis' or grain markets.

"If there is an attempt to forcibly remove the farmers from the borders, then they will turn government offices across the country into Galla Mandi," Tikait said in a tweet. 

Tikait also said that if the administration tried to pull down their tents at the protest site, the farmers would set them up at police stations and the district magistrates' office.
