15 protesters booked for stir outside BJP office in Hisar

Hisar, June 26

The police have booked 15 farmers for creating disturbance during the meeting of the district unit of the BJP at the party’s head office in Hisar on June 24.

A case has been registered on the charges of mischief causing damage, rioting and unlawful assembly of farmers.

BJP district secretary Krishan Khatana lodged a police complaint that a group of protesters, including Sandeep and Virender of Bichpari village, created disturbance, tore banners and posters of the BJP near its office in Sector 14 in the town.

The protesters gathered outside the BJP head office as the local leaders participated in the state executive body’s online meeting in Hisar on the call by the SKM. Despite barricading by the police, the farmers took an alternative route and reached in front of the BJP head office. BJP leaders, including Deputy Speaker Ranbir Gangwa and Hisar MLA Kamal Gupta, had attended the online meeting held in Chandigarh on Saturday.

Meanwhile, BKU leader Shamsher Nambardar said the police had wrongly booked the farmers and they would devise a strategy to oppose the move. — TNS
