Rohtak: After nearly seven hours of drama on Friday, several leaders of Haryana BJP were held hostage at the Temple of Kiloi Rohtak Village by protesting farmers and villagers, left on the condition that they would not hold a public event during the ‘Kisan Andolan’ on.
They were held by “hostages” including former Cooperative Minister Haryana Manish Grover.
Farmers who protested three agricultural laws in the center have opposed the leader programs of the BJP-JJP alliance who ruled Haryana.
Grover has reached the village temple around 10am with several party leaders to watch television broadcasts PM Narendra Modi Visit Kedarnath.
When news spread about their visit, the farmers protested the toll plaza began to gather near the temple.
Manish Grover came to watch the telecast directly from PM Kilarnath, a Kiloi and the nearest area also gathered in that place and demanded an apology from the former minister to visit the village temple by farmer groups.
Seeing the swelling of protests against BJP leaders who were not permitted out of the temple, heavy police forces were deployed and SPS from Rohtak, Jhajjar and Sonipat also reached there.
The police make the human wall around the temple gate to prevent the protesters from going to ward off the problem.
Preeth Singh, All District President Sabha India said the farmer group had warned BJP leaders against holding public events.
Grover and his party, never visited the local wheat market where farmers had struggled to sell their rice plants but found time to visit the temple for their politics, he said.
Other Protester said there was no invitation extended to BJP leaders, and they contradicted the desire of the temple committee after the call of farmers to boycott the ruling party leaders.
“We prevent them from getting out of the temple until they come out with apologies with their hands folded and doing that they will not visit Rohtak districts not to respect boycott calls,” he added.
Outside the temple, young children shouted against the BJP government and insisted on Grover apologize in public.
Around 2:00 p.m., Deputy Commissioner Captain Manoj Kumar also reached to relieve public anger.
The problem was completed after 5 pm, when the BJP leaders, including Grover, put forward the appearance on the first floor wall of the temple with a folded hand, a movement that was seen as an apology by the protesters.
However, a few minutes after Grover appeared, he told the media that he did not look for apologies, and only folded hands to say ‘RAM RAM’ to the protesters.
“If necessary, I will not hesitate to visit the Shiv Kiloi temple again,” he said.
