Have nothing to do with PM Modi's security lapse in Punjab, says farmer leader

The leader of one of the biggest farmer organisations in Punjab said the group had no hand in the Prime Minister's security lapse in the state on Wednesday.

Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU - Ugrahan) chief Joginder Singh Ugrahan said the group had no connection with the lapse in Prime Minister Narendra Modi's security when he was stranded on a flyover in the state on Wednesday.

The organisation's chief said, "We had no intention of gheraoing the Prime Minister nor of going to his rally. In our own districts, we protested and burnt effigies of the Prime Minister."
