Mohali, September 30

Hundreds of farmers today laid siege to the office of Dera Bassi MLA NK Sharma four hours demanding an apology from the MLA and his followers for allegedly using unparliamentary language against the protesting farmers during the recent Bharat Bandh.

The protesting farmers, led by Karam Singh of Bhartiya Kisan Union (Lakhowal), Karam Singh Karkaur of Kisan Union (Rajjewal) and Lakhvinder Singh Lakhi of the Kisan Union (Kadian), demanded that the MLA, along with his supporters Tony Rana and his accomplices, must tender an unconditional apology for using unparliamentary language against farmers.

Karam Singh of the Bhartiya Kisan Union (Lakhowal) said Tony Rana and his accomplices passed remarks against women farmers in Mubarakpur. Sharma and his supporters must tender an unconditional apology or they will not allow any public gatherings of the MLA in the Dera Bassi constituency in future, he said.

The farmers blocked the entry-exit points of Sharma’s office for over four hours and did not allow the movement of traffic. Hundreds of farmers first broke the barricades set up by the police near a dhaba to stop them from moving towards Sharma’s office. —TNS
