Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Tuesday faced opposition from farmers during his visit to Ambala for public meetings in support of BJP-JJP candidates in the MCelections.

The farmers showed black flags to the CM when his convoy was crossing Aggarsain Chowk.

The farmers raised anti-government slogans and surrounded the convoy. They said they would continue to protest till the farm laws were withdrawn.

The farmers attempted to block Khattar’s convoy, but police pushed away the farmers, some of whom were wielding sticks, and provided safe passage to the convoy.

Farmer leader Harkesh Mohri claimed that they had planned to show black flags and raise slogans, but some anti-social elements joined the protest and started blocking the convoy.

Khattar said efforts were being made to crush democracy. — TNS
