Amaridner instigated farmers: Manohar Lal; Assault on peaceful protest: Amarinder.
Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh and his Haryana counterpart Manohar Lal on Monday exchanged sharp words on the farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s farm laws and the recent baton charge in Haryana’s Karnal. At a press conference here, Mr. Lal accused Capt. (retd) Amaridner Singh of instigating farmers. To a question on Capt. Amaridner’s statement asking him to apologise to farmers, Mr. Lal said, “In what authority he is asking me to resign or apologise? Who is he to ask me to apologise or resign? Rather, he should resign for instigating farmers. About 85% of those sitting on Delhi’s borders are from Punjab.” Mr. Lal said those agitating and taking law and order in their hands are not farmers. They are politically motivated people.More Related News
