Govt at fault for Singhu border murder: Rakesh Tikait
Description
ROHTAK: BKU leader Rakesh Tikait on Saturday blamed the central government for the lynching of a Dalit man, accused of desecrating the Sikh holy book, Guru Granth Sahib, at the Singhu border. “The incident occurred near the border site where law-enforcing agencies remained present in big numbers. What were they doing when the episode of murder was going on for hours?” asked Tikait, who was attending Kisan Mahapanchayat here on Saturday. Responding to a query on who should take responsibility for the killing, Tikait said it was the responsibility of the Centre to see what was happening. He alleged that Centre had invested heavily in breaking the peaceful agitation by farmers on the Delhi borders.
