Moga Erupts

Farmers from Kirti Kisan Union gathered at Moga, Panjab today to oppose a rally by Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal. The farmers wanted to confront him over SAD’s earlier support to the Farm Laws.

However, police stopped the farmers. This resulted in a skirmish in which police lathi charged farmers and then farmers indulged in stone pelting and chased the police away. We can see a farmer escorting a woman police personnel out of the conflict zone.

Do not worry if you can’t understand the language. See the visuals, they tell the story. I was moved to hear the commentator say at the end: does Badal not know because of him sons of farmers are fighting against each other? Why can’t he stop his rallies for votes?

Very unfortunate!
