Uttarakhand: MP Ajay Bhatt shown black flags at Jan Ashirwad Yatra in Roorkee
Description
ROORKEE: BJP leader and member of Parliament from Nainital-Udham Singh Nagar, Ajay Bhatt, faced farmers' protest during his visit to Manglaur near Roorkee on Monday. He was shown black flags in protest against the three contentious farm laws passed by the central government last year. He had come to the town to participate in the BJP's Jan Ashirwad Yatra (JAY). A heavy police force was deployed to ensure that no untoward incident takes place during the roadshow. A rousing reception was given to Bhatt by BJP officials and workers at more than 12 places along Yatra route right from Narsan to Bhagwanpur. “BJP has ruined the farmers of country after introducing three farm laws. We are opposing them (BJP’s every minister) to register our protest that you were those who we farmers had given vote so your government could form at centre as well as state but your are the only one who have cheated the farmers at the end after imposing agro-traders favouring 3 farm laws,” said Vijay Kumar Shastri, district head of the BKU.
