Sikh outfits protest against Cong MLA Kaka Randeep Singh in Mandi Gobindgarh

Fatehgarh Sahib, June 2

Carrying flags of farmer unions, members of Sikh outfits today protested and raised slogans against Amloh MLA Kaka Randeep Singh, when he came to inaugurate a petrol station at Mandi Gobindgarh. Interestingly, neither any farmer nor any union leader was among the protesters.

Terming themselves supporters of farmers, protesters said the agitation against the three contentious farm laws had been going on at Delhi borders for the past seven months, but the Congress leaders were inaugurating and promoting the interests of businessmen, which was not tolerable. Accusing the Congress government of backstabbing the protesting farmers, they urged the Samyukt Kisan Morcha leaders to oppose the opening of the pump and start an indefinite dharna.

The MLA said the Congress was supporting the cause of farmers and the newly set up petrol station was owned by the senior vice-president of Mandi Gobindgarh Council. “He urged me to inaugurate it, so I couldn’t say no to him,” he said. — OC
