In Haryana, An Unlikely 'Protester'. Farmers Bring Cow To Police Station

The cow was seen tied to a small pole in the police station premises in Haryana's Tohana, with water and grass placed before it.

An unlikely 'protester' turned up at a police station in Haryana's Fatehabad district on Sunday along with farmers who were protesting the arrest of two farmers. Farmers, who continued their sit-in at a police station in Fatehabad's Tohana demanding the release of two arrested for surrounding an MLA's home, brought with them a cow to the station premises, saying it was the 41st "witness" that saw the farmers being arrested. The two farmers were released on bail late Sunday night. Police officials will be responsible for giving the cow food and water, the farmers said. The animal was seen tied to a small pole in the police station premises, with water and grass placed before it. "The present government considers itself as a government of cow worshippers or cow lovers. We have brought the sacred animal as a symbol because it is considered pure and pious, and its presence might be helpful in putting some sense in the government," one of the protesting farmers said.
