Union Home Minister Amit Shah has asked the Haryana government not to hold any pro-farm laws event or undertake outreach programmes until further notice, NDTV reported on Wednesday.
His advice came three days after Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar had to cancel an event in a village in Karnal district as a group of farmers opposing the Centre’s agriculture laws ransacked the venue.
“After what happened in Karnal the home minister has advised the government not to hold any pro-farm laws outreach programme,” Haryana Education Minister Kanwar Pal Gujjar said, according to NDTV. “We don’t want confrontation with farmers.”
