Farmers gheraoed Simrat Kaur Khangura, wife of Dhuri MLA Dalvir Singh Goldy, in Ladda village here for around three hours on Saturday. Kaur neither called the police nor left the village. She said she had come to meet her relatives and not to seek votes.

Within minutes, she also got the support of Ladda panchayat members and other residents, who said they did not have any problem with Kaur and her husband MLA Goldy as they had ensured development in their village.

“Today I have come to meet my relatives, but some persons, who are working at the instance of our political opponents, gheraoed me and used insulting language. My family and our government are supporting the agitation of farmers against the central laws but some persons want to spoil the peace in villages. We will not allow it at any cost,” Simrat Kaur said.

But BKU (Ugrahan) leader Harbans Singh Ladda said they would not allow any politician enter their villages.

“Farmer organisations have banned the entry of politicians in villages and we will not allow them till the repeal of the black laws,” said Ladda.

High drama was witnessed in the village when protesters raised slogans against the Punjab Government but panchayat members led by Sarpanch Mithu Ladda raised slogans in the favour of MLA Goldy and the government. Dhuri DSP Parmjit Singh Sandhu said after the intervention of the MLA and cops, the protest was ended. — TNS
