Amritsar, June 28
Criticising the Chandigarh police for implicating Lakha Sidhana, Baldev Singh Sirsa and many others under frivolous charges, the Dal Khalsa and the Sikh Youth of Punjab sought cancellation of FIRs registered against them. They also demanded withdrawal of cases registered against them in the national capital.
They accused the Union Home Ministry for police highhandedness. Dal Khalsa general secretary Paramjit Singh Tanda and SYP head Paramjit Singh Mand alleged that the Chandigarh police have booked agitating farmers at the behest of their political bosses in Delhi. They alleged that the BJP-led Union Government was resorting to arm twisting measures to suppress farmers’ agitation.
Referring to FIRs registered against protesting farmers by the Delhi police following tractor march on January 26, the Dal Khalsa alleged that the Chandigarh police has followed the Delhi pattern to implicate farmer leaders. They said the police allegations against protesters were baseless and that protesting farmers didn’t indulge in violence neither in Chandigarh nor in Delhi.
