Farmers' body Samyukta Kisan Morcha Wednesday alleged 'antisocial' elements like actor Deep Sidhu attempted to 'torpedo' their peaceful agitation under a conspiracy but asserted they won't allow 'the government and other forces inimical to the peaceful movement to break this struggle'.
The morcha, which represents 41 farmer unions, has called an emergency meeting later in the day to decide the future course of action. Referring to the violence during Tuesday's tractor rally, the union body slammed actor Deep Sidhu and Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee, alleging they attempted to torpedo the farmers' agitation. In a statement, the Morcha said,
“The Union government has been severely shaken by this peasant agitation. Therefore, a dirty conspiracy was hatched with the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee and others against the peaceful struggle of other farmer organizations, who had set up their own separate protest site after 15 days of the beginning of this Farmers' agitation. They were not part of the organizations which jointly undertook the struggle."
All the farmers' leaders, including Balbir Singh Rajewal and Jagjeet Singh Dallewal, said,” When the farmer organizations declared ‘Kisan Parade’ on January 26, anti-social elements like Deep Sidhu and others, along with the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee attempted like a torpedo to damage the farmers’ agitation.”
