Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher criticised the centreâs way of handling the protests
A meeting of the farmer unions and the central government has been scheduled for today at 5 pm.
Farmer leader Sarwan Singh Pandher criticised the centreâs way of handling the protests pointing out the high-level security measures involving even para-military forces.
âThere were injuries to the farmers, our medical practitioner here is saying that one bandage is being applied every minute, which means 60 bandages are being applied in an hour. Here at the Shambhu border, this kind of heavy use of security and resistance, is being made from the other side, and secondly, it is not the police but the paramilitary forces who are attacking us,â he said.
âThis is the first time that any government of the country has used paramilitary forces against the farmer labour movement, I would like to tell. Tear gas is commonly used, but look at the other ways, smoke cell air bursts are also being utilized, smoke cell ground bursts are also being used and heavy explosion emissions are also being utilized. All this is going on like this, that is why we say that the way the central government is abusing its power over farmers and labourers, it should think again on these things,â he added.
âWe are seeing, that the government wants to completely crush the farmerâs movement under its wings, we would like to think about it again, this should not happen, we are farmers and labourers of this country, we are the ones who make the country, this country is ours and the government will have to listen to our voice, otherwise whatever happens next will not be good. We are going to the meeting today in a completely positive mood that some positive solution will emerge from this meeting in the coming time,â the farmer leader said.
