‘Reminded me of General Dyer’: Congress surrounds BJP over lathi charge on farmers

Condemning the incident of lathi-charge on farmers in Haryana, the Congress on Saturday said that it reminded of ‘General Dyer’ and lathi on farmers would prove to be a nail in the coffin of the BJP government. . Former party president Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “Then blood has been shed for the farmer, he bowed his head in shame.” Gives a thriving crop. The BJP government bleeds them with sticks when they demand their rights. Every stick on the farmers will act as a nail in the coffin of the BJP government.

The party’s chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala alleged in a statement, “Today the ‘coward government’ of BJP-JJP reminded once again of “General Dyer” by brutally and barbarously lathi-charging the Annadata farmer in Karnal. Peasants who were protesting peacefully were beaten up like animals. Dozens were bled and hundreds were injured.

He claimed, “Once again it has been proved that Annadata is the real ‘doom-mind’ of the farmer – Dushyant Chautala and Manohar Lal Khattar. The BJP-JJP government together has written lathi-charge, water cannons, tear gas shells and torture of nails and canisters on the part of farmers for the last nine months.

Surjewala targeted the Haryana Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister and said, “Manohar Lal Khattar – Dushyant Chautala has beaten our ‘God’, not a farmer, today… will be punished. The blood flowing on the roads and seeping from the bodies of farmers will be remembered by all the coming races. There is still time – either stand with the farmers or leave the throne.

It is noteworthy that the police on Saturday allegedly lathi-charged a group of farmers who were marching towards Karnal while protesting against a BJP meeting, in which around ten people were injured. Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, state BJP president Om Prakash Dhankhar and other senior party leaders were present in the meeting.
