Chandigarh: Minister of Chief Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar on Monday accused the Government of Congress in Punjab triggering unrest of farmers in his country, provoking the sharp response from his Punjab partner.
Exchanges took place two days after farmers protested the law enacted in the middle of a few months back clashed with Haryana police in Karnal.
Overcoming a press conference on the settlement of 2,500 government days led by BJP in Haryana, Khattar blamed Punjab for farmers to choose their protests.
“There is a clear hand from the punjab government in it,” cm is charged.
The Chairperson of the Punjab Minister Amarinder Singh returned a little later, accusing BJP, including Haryana CM, took refuge from “Hammer Lies” for “terrible attacks” on farmers who protested.
“Revoking the agricultural law instead of blaming punjab for chaos, your party has placed the agricultural sector,” Singh said in a statement.
Also on Monday, a “moiskachayat” in Gharunda in Karnal issued “ultimatum” to the government Haryana.
The meeting demanded the registration of cases on September 6 against those responsible for the accusation of Lathi Saturday.
If not, on September 7, farmers will surround the Secretariat in Karnal, a agricultural leader warn.
Khattar admitted that the choice of words by Karnal HR Ayush Sinha, who was caught on camera it was said to have told the police to “break the head” of a nervous farmer if they crossed the line, wrong.
But he defended the police action itself.
About 10 farmers were injured in clashes.
Police said some of their men were also injured.
Haryana Deputy CM and Jannayak Party leader Janta Dushyant Chautala previously said the judge would face action.
But Khattar said, “We will see whether the action must be taken.
DGP investigates this problem and will submit the report.
But the officer should not use such words.” In Karnal, Leader Union Bhartiya Kisan Gurnam Singh Chaduni demanded compensation for RS 25 Lakh and government work for the family of a farmer who allegedly died after suffering injury on the accusation of Lathi.
But the state government stated that he died in his house and not among the injured.
While issuing the “Ultimatum” to the government Haryana, Chaduni also demanded Rs 2 Lakh as compensation for each farmer who was injured separately from the Punjab government, Khattar blamed the leaders of Congress such as former Minister of Haryana Bhupinder Singh Hooda and left for the farmers protest.
He slammed Amarinder Singh for asking his resignation of police actions in Karnal.
He said it must be Singh who had to stop as “around 80 percent” farmers who protested Delhi’s border appear to be from his country.
“Happy farmers in Haryana,” he said.
Spending farmers on violent protests, CM claims that the wider community turned against them.
“There is a limit on every freedom.
There is no absolute freedom,” he said.
Amarinder Singh destroyed Khattar’s claim that Haryana police used strength only after farmers disrupted the law and order, and referred to controversial HR instructions.
He accused Khattar to defend “criminal attacks” to farmers and warned that BJP would pay “sin” in the upcoming assembly elections in various countries.
Given that farmers have protested throughout Punjab for two months before shifting to focus on the Delhi border, CM said there was no violence in the state.
“Even recently, when sugar cane farmers protested, we negotiate with them and solve problems instead of using Brute Force to try and subdue them,” he added.
Responding to Khattar’s statement that farmers gave Amarinder Singh ‘Ladoos’ after the resolution of sugar cane problems, Punjab CM said, “you revoke agricultural laws and not just farmers but even I will share Ladoo with you.”
