Farmers plan stir against Abohar MLA Arun Narang
Abohar, June 1
Farmer organisations have decided to stage a dharna outside BJP MLA Arun Narang’s Gaushala Road House on June 5.
Narang has been keeping a low profile after he was thrashed by a gathering in Malout on March 27 when he was to address mediapersons to highlight the “failures” of the state government. He was recently distributed face masks inside a gaushala and attended a brief function also.
The decision was taken at a meeting attended by senior members of the Jamhuri Kisan Sabha; BKU Ekta Ugrahan, Sidhpur, Rajewal and Lakhowal; Krantikari Kisan Union; Kulhind Kisan Sabha; All-India Kisan Sabha; Azad Kisan Morcha; Technical Services Union; Mechanical Technical Union; Tola Dhanak Mazdoor Union; Usari Union; and Revolutionary Farmers Union.
Farmers said Narang had promised to inform the BJP high command about the farmers’ resentment over the farm laws, but he had done nothing in this regard. — OC
