No role of farmers in Red Fort ruckus: Himachal Kisan Sabha
Description
Responding to the call given by the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha, the Himachal Kisan Sabha (HKS) and other organisations staged a silent protest and took out a candle march across the state to spread the message of peace and non-violence on the death anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.Kuldeep Tanwar, president, HKS, while leading the protest and the march in Shimla, said the farmers had set an example by holding a peaceful and non-violent agitation for over two months. Blaming the government and the BJP for trying to defame the peaceful agitation, Tanwar said the truth was in front of the people. Reiterating that farmers had no role in the ruckus at the Red Fort on Republic Day, he said the Red Fort incident was planned by forces trying to break the agitation.While slamming the government for using “brute force” against the farmers, Tanwar demanded the release of all those protesting peacefully. — TNS
