Charuni released a video message and appealed to workers to avoid any confrontation with the police.

“Republic Day is a national festival and I request all farmers not to disrupt or oppose any programme at the district or state level as creating disruption at these programmes will send a wrong message,” Charuni said.

He, however, clarified that protests against political rallies will continue.

Meanwhile, heavy police deployment has been made in Panipat where chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar is to unfurl the national flag at the state-level programme.

Earlier, BKU Mann faction also announced that it will not oppose any Republic Day programme in the state.

The Republic Day function will be first public programme of the chief minister after protesters ransacked the venue of his kisan mahapanchayat at Kaimla village of Karnal district on January 10, forcing the chief minister to cancel the programme.
