Kurukshetra, March 30

Bharatiya Kisan Union (Charuni) chief Gurnam Singh has asked activists, especially those who belonging to Punjab, staging dharna at the Kundli border to mend their ways and not to harass local villagers as there have been complaints against them.

In a video, Gurnam said: “There have been repeated complaints from villagers living near the Kundli border that the protesters, especially from Punjab, stop them while travelling and ask unnecessary questions, behave rudely and play loud music after consuming liquor. Locals have been supporting us and I request you not to bother them. Talk politely and cooperate with them. There is a need to improve your behaviour. Our fight is not against the locals but the government.”

Manish Kumar, Kundli village sarpanch, said: “There have been some issues. Whenever a large number of people gather for a cause, some mischievous elements too step in. We have been supporting the farmers and they also cooperate with us.
