Farmers from Karnataka among those detained in Madhya Pradesh ahead of protest

Hindustan Times  

Farmers from Karnataka’s Hubballi on their way to Delhi were among those detained in Madhya Pradesh ahead of a scheduled protest of cultivators on Tuesday even as police have intensified security in the national capital and imposed curbs on gatherings at the city’s borders. A Madhya Pradesh Police officer said the farmers from Karnataka were detained at the Bhopal railway station on Sunday night based on intelligence inputs regarding the protest in Delhi. “They cannot be allowed to go there.” Guru Karan Singh, the police superintendent of Madhya Pradesh’s Narmadapuram, said a sub-divisional magistrate sent farmer leaders Shivraj Rajoria, Mahesh Upadhyay, and Sachin Sharma to jail. In a post on social media platform X, he said, “The arrest of Hubballi farmers by the Madhya Pradesh government, as they were heading to a protest in Delhi tomorrow, is highly condemnable.” He asked the Madhya Pradesh government to immediately release all the farmers from his state and allow them to participate in the protest at Jantar Mantar in Delhi.
