Hoshiarpur, September 13
PCC working president Sangat Singh Gilzian was today gheraoed by members of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee at Pandori Kadd village. Gilzian was on his way to attend the inauguration ceremony of a government college at Mukhliana village when the farmers blocked his vehicle and raised slogans.
The standoff continued for about an hour even as the police tried to disperse the protesters. Samiti representatives agreed to let him go after Gilzian agreed to talk to them. The committee members accused Gilzian of getting FIRs wrongly registered against them, a charge denied by the Congress leader. — OC
