Govt misusing sedition law, free farmers: Tikait

Hisar, July 17 The Samyukt Kisan Morcha (SKM) today started a dharna outside the mini secretariat in Sirsa in protest against the arrest of five farmers and registration of an FIR under various charges, including sedition, following the attack on the vehicle of Deputy Speaker Ranbir Gangwa last week. Bid to scuttle stir This is a colonial-era law and is being misused to muzzle our voice. We will continue the dharna till our demands are met  - Rakesh Tikait, BKU Alleging misuse of the sedition law, SKM leader Rakesh Tikait demanded the release of the farmers and withdrawal of the FIR. “This is a British-era law which is being used to muzzle our voice. If someone throws a stone and it breaks the windowpane of a car, does it amount to sedition?” questioned Tikait. He alleged when the police assaulted farmers and damaged their vehicles in Hisar last month, no action was taken against them.
