Farmers’ protests | Union leaders blame BJP for attacks on protesters at Delhi

The Hindu  

The BJP on Saturday came under sharp criticism from farmer outfits and political parties, a day after violence broke out at Delhi’s Singhu border during a protest reportedly by ‘locals’ seeking to evict agitating farmers from the protest site. “Delhi Police personnel as well as “goons” of the BJP were involved in state terrorism by attacking the farmer camp at the Singhu border, besides beating up Sikh youth mercilessly and insulting their articles of faith,” alleged senior SAD leader and former minister Bikram Singh Majithia, adding that cases should be registered against police personnel and others. Aam Aadmi Party also accused the BJP of suppressing the ongoing farmers' movement on Delhi borders and demanded from the Punjab government to provide police security to the struggling farmers. AAP’s Punjab unit co-incharge Raghav Chadha alleged that the BJP 'goons' had been continuously attacking the farmers of the country from last few days in a bid to intimidate them to vacate the protest sites. “Earlier the miscreants backed by BJP had threatened and attacked the farmers with sticks at Ghazipur border and yesterday also, the BJP-RSS goons, including several local BJP leaders, attacked the farmers, who had been protesting peacefully from over last two months and pelted stones on them at Singhu border in broad daylight,” he alleged at a press conference.
