Ultra-Left leaders and pro-Left wing extremist elements have hijacked the ongoing farmers agitation, according to intelligence sources.
There are credible intelligence inputs to indicate that these elements are planning to instigate the farmers to indulge in violence, arson and damage public property in the coming days.
As per intel inputs, the farmer leaders are having affiliation with Left wing groups. The farmer leaders actively involved in the current agitation are listed as under:
Satnam Singh Pannu (65), President, Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee (KMSC). Pannu does not share good relations with the leaders of other farmers organisations. KMSC has sizeable influence in Punjab s Tarn Taran district. The leaders of other farmers bodies by and large stay away from the agitations called by him.
