Ahead of the talks between the farmers and the Centre’s representatives on Friday, two Punjab BJP leaders today met Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
As hundreds of farmers continued with their protest, the Supreme Court on Thursday expressed concern over the possible spread of Covid-19 and asked the Centre if they were taking precautionary measures against the pandemic.
Surjit Kumar Jyani and Harjeet Grewal discussed with Shah the ongoing situation arising out of the agitation.
Grewal said they apprised Shah about the “deteriorating” law and order situation in Punjab. He alleged state-sponsored violence was being unleashed on BJP workers. Jyani said: “The houses of BJP leaders have been gheraoed for several weeks. We won’t tolerate ‘goonda’ elements,” he said.
