Dharna against former Haryana minister Manish Grover ends
Description
The farmer-activists who had been staging a protest demonstration near the local residence of senior BJP leader and former Haryana minister Manish Grover for five days over alleged obscene gesture made towards farmers and women protesters from Grover’s car at Hisar on July 10 ended the dharna after an amicable settlement late last night.The dharna ended after representatives of the protesters met the former minister following mediation by some prominent residents and the local administration.As per the protesters, Grover talked to some women who claimed to have witnessed the Hisar incident.The women, however, maintained that they did not recognise the person seated with Vinod Bhayana, the BJP MLA from Hansi, in the car.The former minister touched the feet of the enraged women and sought their blessings. Following that, All-India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) leader Inderjit Singh announced the lifting of the dharna and cancellation of the ‘mahila nyay panchayat’ called at Rohtak on July 19, which was slated to be addressed by the top national leaders of the Sanyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM).
