Amritsar: Navjot Singh Siddhu, who became the new president of the Punjab Congress unit, faced fierce opposition when he arrived in Nawanshahr in Ludhiana today. They were shown black flags. However, police say the situation was handled before going berserk. The protesters were removed from Siddhu's convoy without using force.

In fact, when Siddhu reached Bhagat Singh Chowk in Khatkarkalan, Ludhiana for the first time after becoming the president of the Punjab Congress unit, a farmers' organization wanted to question him about agricultural laws. The farmers reached Siddhu's convoy with black flags. The police were alerted when they raised slogans. Congress leaders also did not want to dispute with the farmers. The situation returned to normal after the police evacuated the farmers who reached the middle. Police say the situation is still under control.

Sources said Siddhu bowed his forehead at the memorial of martyr A Azam Bhagat Singh. Meanwhile, as soon as Siddhu's visit was heard, people from farmers' organizations also rushed to the spot and started protesting. When the police administration tried to stop them, the farmers started moving forcibly.
