Bid to malign farmers, Sikhs: Farmer organisations
Description
BATHINDA: Taking exception to PM Modi’s “going back alive” remark and claims of his security breach, the farmer organisations on Friday alleged an attempt to set a narrative of threat to national security from farmers and Sikhs. They claimed that it appeared as if BJP and the PM were unable to accept the repeal of the farm laws and wanted to hit back at farmers by showing them in bad light and calling them nuisance creators. To bolster their claim, the farmers referred to a video footage showing only BJP workers close to the prime minister’s cavalcade on the flyover. Meanwhile, Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Harpreet Singh said the incident happened due to the lack of coordination between the Punjab and central government agencies, “but the Sikhs are being targeted”.
