RLD president meets injured farmers in Muzaffarnagar, demands FIR against culprits

Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD) president Ajit Singh reached Soram village in Muzaffarnagar on Tuesday to meet farmers who were injured in a clash with the aides of Union Minister Sanjeev Balyan on Monday. “I am not saying farmers are with me, I have come here to say that I am with you,” he said. Addressing hundreds of farmers in the village, Mr. Singh demanded that FIR be registered against those who roughed up the farmers and entered their houses. “This is the least you could do. It is the law,” he told the officials present at the meeting. “You are to protect common people and not just the Minister and his aides,” he said.
