Farmers gherao residence of MP Hans Raj Hans

Jalandhar, December 26

As part of their ongoing plan to gherao leader of the BJP, members of the BKU (Rajewal) gheraod the residences of BJP leader and singer Hans Raj Hans and party leader KD Bhandari here on Saturday.

While the protest on Friday led to a standoff between the police and protesters due to barricades put outside the house of Manoranjan Kalia – no barricades were put to obstruct farmers today who held a peaceful protest outside the BJP leaders’ residences. The farmers forced closure a Reliance godown at the Pathankot Chowk on Saturday. While goods were being brought to the godown, which was officially declared closed, famers stopped all activity at the godown. Carrying flags and posters, farmers went across in files outside the leaders’ residences raising slogans against the Central government. — TNS
