Opinion | Who is misleading Punjab farmers by resorting to false propaganda?

India TV News  

In my prime time show ‘Aaj Ki Baat’ on Tuesday night, farmers from remote areas revealed how Left activists in Punjab went from village to village in recent months and mobilized farmers to join the march to Delhi to demand repeal of the new farm laws. The farmer also narrated how Left party workers circulated pictures of elderly Sikh farmers who had died of natural death to tell villagers that they have become martyrs in the Delhi protests. I have received videos from several Punjab farmers who wanted to point out how false propaganda is being made in villages by Left workers in the name of farmers’ agitation. Vijender Singh said that the Left party workers applied a simple formula: they linked the new farm laws to the ‘izzat’ of Sikh farmers.
