Protest over farm laws in Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar’s seat
Description
KARNAL: Farmer outfits led by Swaraj India carried out a protest march in chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s constituency Karnal on Monday against the three agriculture laws enacted by the Centre. The farmers wanted to gherao the CM’s camp office, but they were stopped by cops. Addressing the gathering, Swaraj India chief Yogendra Yadav criticised the Centre for enacting the laws and praised Congress-led state governments of Punjab and Rajasthan for opposing the laws. He said, “Now, Centre has enacted another strict law, on burning of crop residue. Farmers and labourers of the state made Khattar chief minister, but he did not raise their concern with the central government of his party when anti-farmer laws were being enacted.” tnn
