He had stolen a policeman’s car after threatening him with a sword
Delhi Police have arrested a protester for allegedly attacking the Station House Officer (SHO) of Samaypur Badli police station during a chase after he stole a policeman’s car by threatening him with a sword near the Singhu border, said a senior police officer on Wednesday.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) chief said that not even a
lathi charge had to be ordered on the peaceful agitation. “It [violence] happened once. But when we went in to detail, we were told that no farmer was involved in that [violence]. Those who were involved in that was a group of people who wanted to defame the farmers’ agitation and the ruling party was behind this,” he said.
This is the first time that any major Opposition leader has directly attacked the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led Central government over the violence that erupted on January 26 rally organised by farmers.
