“Thousands of farmers are protesting peacefully to press their legitimate demands, but the Manohar Lal Khattar government is harassing them,” Kang said.

“Farmer leaders are under house arrest and barricades have been put up at different places to prevent farmers from moving forward. The way the Haryana government has barricaded the National Highway is anti-democratic. The atrocities on the farmers have once again exposed the anti-farmer face of BJP,” he said.
