“The wings associated with the BJP, which are allegedly taking out procession and forcing village heads to issue an order for Muslim people to leave villages, will not be spared and we demand action against such miscreants who are ruining the social fabric of society. Now, Haryana khaps and farmer unions are standing firmly with every community and will not allow any disturbance in the peaceful situation,” he added.
