Farmers' dharna against ex-minister Manish Grover ends
Description
Farm activists, who had been protesting near the local residence of BJP leader and ex-minister Manish Grover for five days over the alleged obscene gesture made towards farmers from his car at Hisar on July 10, ended the dharna after an amicable settlement late Saturday 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 leader Inderjit Singh announced the lifting of the dharna and cancellation of the ‘mahila nyay panchayat’ called at Rohtak on July 19. — TNS
