Confrontation between BJP workers, farmers outside hotel
Description
Ludhiana: The Bharatiya Janata Party workers and farmers’ union members had a face-off outside a hotel on Ferozepur Road, where a programme of BJP Mahila Morcha was being organised on Tuesday. Tension escalated when the Bhartiya Kisan Union members insisted on protesting at the spot against the BJP for not rolling back the farm bills and raised slogans when party’s leaders came out of the hotel after the meeting. The party workers rushed towards the farmers with sticks, but cops intervened and a clash was avoided. The BJP leaders condemned the Congress government for its failure in managing law and order situation to an extent that a political party was not allowed to hold a meeting. They said these were not farmers because farmers were working in the fields.
