Mansa, September 3
A day after Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) leader Ruldu Singh Mansa was provided security cover by the Mansa police following threats issued to him on social media, he has now refused to take it in protest against the Moga lathicharge.

Mansa had agreed to take security from the police on September 1, but after the Moga incident, he has refused to take the cover.
“I have informed senior police officials about my decision. There can’t be an apt example of pretense that on the one hand you want to provide security to a union leader and on the other hand you are beating farmers ruthlessly. Such double standards would not be tolerated at all,” he said. — TNS
