Chandigarh, June 27

Leaders of various farmer unions that form part of the Samyukt Kisan Morcha have condemned the alleged high-handedness of the Chandigarh Police during their protest yesterday.

Thanking trade unions, other associations and people for supporting their cause against the contentious central agricultural laws, morcha leaders condemned the Chandigarh Police for registering cases against farm leaders.

“To protest against farm laws is our democratic right. Our protest was peaceful, but it is shocking that cases have been registered against farmers,” read the statement by the morcha. The protest would continue till the farm laws were repealed, they said.
