Groups chanting
“goli maaro…” attacked farmers at the Singhu border on Friday, demanding they vacate the protest site because they had “insulted” the national flag on Republic Day, as policemen stood watching.
One of the men in the group had the Tricolour crumpled up in his fist as he charged towards the farmers. The men, who claimed to be Singhu residents, wielded sticks and threw stones at the protesters, who have been sitting on a peaceful dharna on Delhi’s borders for two months to seek the repeal of three new farm laws.
“They are not locals but hired goons. They were throwing stones and petrol bombs at us. They attempted to burn down our trolleys also,” PTI quoted farmer Harkirat Mann Beniwal, 21, as saying.
