New Delhi: A farmer suffered grave injuries after police lathicharged at a protest that was being held against the visit of a Bharatiya Janata Party MP to Hisar district of Haryana, on Friday, November 5.Ram Chander Jangra had gone to Narnaund town for a foundation stone-laying event. He has claimed that his vehicle has been damaged by protesters.While farmers across Haryana have been protesting against the Centre’s three farm laws by making their voices heard at programmes of leaders of Haryana’s ruling BJP and Jannayak Janta Party, the agitation against Jangra had been triggered by the MP referring to them as “jobless alcoholics and bad elements,” Indian Express has reported.The news agency PTI has quoted unnamed police officials as having said that a protesters carrying black flags had blocked Jangra’s convoy and that the road was “cleared,” allowing the Rajya Sabha MP to proceed.“After concluding my programme, I was on my way to attend another function when some miscreants threw lathis on my car, leaving it damaged. No one was hurt,” Jangra told reporters, according to PTI.Contrary to Jangra’s claim, Express has reported that one Kuldeep Rana, a farmer, has had to be hospitalised after having been seriously injured in police lathicharge.Jangra was also quoted by PTI as having said that police officials informed him that two people have been arrested in connection with the incident. This was corroborated by local farmer leader Ravi Azad, who told Express that police have detained two agitating farmers, Sudhir Singhwa and Kailash Umra.Azad said farmers would agitate for their release at Narnaund police station.The MP has also claimed that this was “a clear murder attempt” and that he had to cancel subsequent programmes in Narwana and Uchana as his car had been allegedly damaged.Elsewhere in Haryana too, farmers protested against BJP leaders. In Kiloi village of Rohtak district, NDTV reported that BJP members and former minister Manish Grover were surrounded by farmers while they were at an event to watch the live telecast of a speech by Prime Minister Narendra Modi from Kedarnath.Grover eventually apologised with folded hands to farmers. Protesters then let BJP members leave the venue.In October, a farmer sustained injuries while others had a narrow escape after a car they claimed was part of BJP MP Nayab Saini’s cavalcade drove into a group of farmers protesting against the farm laws at Naraingarh near Ambala.In August, Haryana police had brutally lathicharged a group of farmers protesting near a highway while heading towards Karnal in Haryana to protest against a BJP meeting.
