Farmers protest after getting information of Dushyant’s visit to Jind village

Farmers on Wednesday set up a morcha outside Daroli Kalan village in Jind after they got news of Haryana deputy chief minister Dushyant Chautala’s arrival.The farmers cut trees and parked a road-roller in the middle of the road to stop entry of Chautala who was expected to attend a marriage function.Till the filing of this copy, Dushyant had not reach there. Since last one year when farmers’ started the agitation against Centre’s three farm laws, Chautala had failed to hold a single programme in his constituency, Uchana Kalan.Earlier in the day, Chautala had visited Rohtak and Jind where he had directed the party workers to ensure maximum presence in ‘Jan Sarokar Diwas’ rally to be held in Jhajjar on December 9.Farmers laid siege outside the village in the morning, prepared food at the protest site and didn’t leave the venue till late night.However, police officials and district administration authorities made futile attempts to pacify the farmers. The farmers said they voted for Dushyant but he deceived them which led to strong resentment among the farming community.BKU Jind district president Azad Palwan said they have sealed Daroli Khera village at all entry points to stop entry of Chautala.“We are seeking cancellation of FIRs registered on around 50,000 farmers in different police station across Haryana, a legal guarantee on MSP, and compensation to family members of those died during ongoing protest,” said Palwan.
