BATHINDA
The BJP event in Bathinda’s Ram Chandra Market on Amrik Singh road was disrupted as protesters entered the venue raising slogans.
BJP district president Vinod Kumar Binta said: “We had erected a tent near my office in Ram Chandra Market. We had to celebrate birth anniversary of former PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee and also to listen to the PM live. We had just started the programme when farmers came inside the tent and started raising slogans against us, they threw the chairs and even damaged picture of the former PM. We had no choice but to leave the venue. In a democracy, if they have the right to protest, even we have the right to organise any programme in a peaceful manner. I along with other BJP leaders went to the SSP Bathinda and apprised him of the matter. But we haven’t submitted a written complaint yet.”

Like thousands of other farmers in India s Punjab, Gurpreet Singh was never likely to become a rich man. He had one acre of wheat to his name – barely enough to scrape a living for his family in Sukhanwala village, where agriculture has been a way of life for centuries.
