Fatehgarh Sahib, January 5
Farmers’ unions today protested the PM’s rally in front of the Deputy Commissioner’s office here today.
A large number of farmers raised slogans against PM Narendra Modi, tore hoardings, removed flags from vehicles and burnt the PM’s effigy.
Addressing farmers, Harnek Singh Bhallamajra, Balwinder Singh and other leaders said the Centre had failed to fulfil the promises it made to the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) after repealing the three agricultural laws. They said neither the Centre initiated any process to form a committee to give a legal shape to the MSP, nor it cancelled the FIRs registered against farmers during the agitation.
They alleged that the Modi government was hell bent on saving the Union Minister, whose son, indicted by the SIT, was the main accused in the Lakhimpur Kheri incident. They said as long as the Centre did not meet their demands, the protest against Modi would continue. — TNS
