OPINION | Why Bhagwant Mann ordered crackdown on farmers? Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann’s sudden crackdown on protesting farmers at Shambhu and Khanauri border has sparked controversy. Haryana Police removed all cemented barricades from Shambhu border on Thursday morning, a day after Punjab Police, in a major crackdown, evicted protesting farmers from both Shambhu and Khanauri border. Punjab police uprooted all tents and structures erected by farmers since February 13 last year, and detained top farmer leaders including Jagjit Singh Dallewal, Sarvan Singh Pandher, Abhimanyu Kohar, Kaka Singh Kotra and Manjeet Singh Rai, moments after they returned from a meeting in Chandigarh with Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal. AAP minister Harpal Singh Cheema said that since the farmers’ agitation was against the Centre, and the two borders had remained closed for long, the state police had to take action.
