Punjab Minister Sees 'Conspiracy' in Singhu Lynching; Cites Photo of Tomar With Nihang Leader

News 18  

Punjab Deputy Chief Minister Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa on Tuesday called the lynching of a labourer at the Singhu border a possible conspiracy to defame the farmers’ agitation, citing a purported photograph of Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar with a Nihang leader. Former state Congress chief Sunil Jakhar also joined the controversy triggered by the appearance of the photograph on social media, alleging that Central agencies could be involved in last week’s murder at a farmers’ protest site near the Delhi-Haryana border. In view of the recent photographic evidence available, the Nihang leader will also need to explain in what capacity he had met Union Agriculture Minister N S Tomar and whether he was mandated to do so by the farmers’ organisations spearheading the campaign against the three black farm laws. Given the importance of the place where the Nihang leader was camping, it was mandatory on his part to keep the farmers’ unions informed and updated about his meetings with the Union minister, Randhawa said.
