‘SKM leadership can’t escape responsibility’

Description

Gurgaon: Haryana’s deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala said on Saturday farmer organisations and their leaders cannot escape accountability for the “barbaric murder” of a man at the Singhu border, one of the main sites of the agitation against the central farming laws they've been leading. “The leadership should take responsibility,” said Chautala, seeking to put the Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM), the grouping of 40 farm unions that has organised the protests at Delhi’s borders since last November, under pressure. Chautala, who has been a primary political target of the protests in Haryana because of his alliance with BJP, said, “If some unfortunate incident happens at a programme organised by any department, organisation or protest movement, then the responsibility of such incident lies with the organisers and its leadership.”
