Some people want to turn farmers' agitation violent on behest of govt: Kisan Sangharsh Samiti
While addressing a joint press conference at Tikri Border on January 17, the convener of Kisan Sangharsh Samiti in Haryana, Mandip Nathwan spoke on farmers protest.
Nathwan said, "On behest of government, some people want to turn this agitation violent.
This agitation is against policies of government, and not against Delhi." "We should implement strategy finalised by Sanyukt Kisan Morcha and continue it peacefully," he added.
"It is being said that farmers would unfurl tricolour at Red Fort and tractors and tanks would roll together (on January 26).
No such programme has been finalised by the Morcha.
Such statements are not in interests of farmers," Nathwan further stated
Haryana Health Minister Anil Vij said that the government has to implement Covid-19 protocols strictly even if it irks people. He added that they cannot afford to see piles of bodies. āThere are two ways to contain Covid, one of them is lockdown and it is not viable. We want the lives to go on and people to be safe at the same time. The other way to check the spread is strictness in following Covid-19 protocols. I have asked officers to implement Covid rules strictly even if it irks people. We can face people's anger but we cannot see piles of bodies.,ā he said. Vij added India's recovery rate is way more than other countries and fatality rate is less. As per the Health Ministry, Haryana has over 27420 active cases while death toll is 3,316.
