Will move to PM’s residence if farmers removed forcibly from borders: Charuni

New Delhi : Senior BKU leader Gurnam Singh Charuni warned that the peasants will hold a march to PM’s residence if the protesting farmers are removed forcibly from the borders across the national capital.

Charuni visited several parts of Karnal on Sunday and then asked the farmers to increase their numbers on the protesting sites.

In a video message to the farmers later, Charuni said, “The government has been trying to open the borders for the past many days. There is afratafri (chaos) among the people. There are talks that the government will get the roads cleared before Diwali. We would like to warn the government that it should not be mistaken.”

Urging the farmers to remain alert and be prepared to move to Delhi even at night, Chaduni further said, “If the government tries to open the roads, then this time Diwali will be celebrated at the door of Modi. We will camp there. We are sitting (at the borders) peacefully. Still, if the government tries to disturb them and try to forcibly remove them, then the farmers of the country will move to Delhi.”

According to a news report, a Mahapanchayat was held at Khatkar toll plaza near Jind where farmers vowed to resist any attempt of removing them forcibly from the border.

A farmer leader, requesting anonymity, said, “There is a growing sentiment among the agitators that the Sanyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) should take a strong view of the efforts to open the highways even when the farmers are sitting on the roads as part of their agitation against the three contentious farm laws.”
