Govt Free to Nab Any Anti-Social Elements in Our Protest, Say Farmers, Threaten to Block Delhi-Jaipur Road Today

News 18  

Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on Saturday said farmers unions are not aware of the presence of any anti-social elements in their ongoing protests against the Centre’s new farm laws and asked the government to nab them if it suspects so. On Human Rights Day on Thursday, photographs of some protesters at the Tikri border holding posters and demanding the release of several activists arrested under various charges had gone viral on social media, prompting agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar to say that “anti-social elements” are conspiring to spoil the atmosphere of the movement. Food and consumer affairs minister Piyush Goyal said on Friday that the protests had been hijacked by “Maoist elements” but Prime Minister Narendra Modi sought to reassure farmers that the changes would boost their incomes. The delegation, led by Bharatiya Kisan Union’s Haryana state leader Guni Prakash, submitted a “letter of support” to Tomar on the farm laws passed by Parliament in September and demanded the government to continue with these legislations.
