Protesting Farmers Show Black Flags To BJP MP In Haryana

Before being detained, farmer leader Jasbir Singh Manumajra accused the state government of curbing the right of people to hold a peaceful demonstration.

Farmers staged a protest and showed black flags to BJP MP Nayab Singh Saini in Haryana's Kurukshetra when he came to participate in an event on Sunday. The protesters raised slogans against the Haryana government and Mr Saini, and showed black flags to him on his arrival at the event. Earlier, the farmers, who have been protesting against the Centre's new farm laws, assembled at the Theme Park situated near the Saini Bhawan, where police officers tried to persuade them not to stage a demonstration. Subsequently, they marched towards the venue. A large number of police personnel swung into action and detained many of the protesters.
