NDTV
Karnal's Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ayush Sinha is seen instructing policemen that no protesting farmer should go beyond a certain barricade in the area
A video showing a top district official in Haryana asking policemen to ensure farmers who are protesting against BJP leaders get "head injuries" have surfaced on social media, drawing criticism from a wide section of people including BJP MP Varun Gandhi. I hope this video is edited and the DM did not say this... Otherwise, this is unacceptable in democratic India to do to our own citizens. pic.twitter.com/rWRFSD2FRH Some 10 people were injured today after the state police lathi-charged a group of farmers who had stopped traffic on a highway while heading towards Haryana's Karnal to protest against a BJP meeting, where Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, state BJP chief Om Prakash Dhankar and other senior leaders were present. In the video, Karnal's Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Ayush Sinha is seen standing in front of a group of policemen and instructing them that no protesting farmer should go beyond a certain barricade in the area. "It is very simple and clear, whoever he is, wherever he is from, no one should be allowed to reach there. We will not let this line be breached at any cost. Just pick up your lathi and hit them hard... It's very clear, there is no need for any instruction, just thrash them hard. If I see a single protester here, I want to see his head smashed, crack their heads," Mr Sinha is heard saying in the video.More Related News
