Farmer union sacks Bhupinder Singh Mann

Chandigarh, January 14

The Bhartiya Kisan Union (Mann) today sacked Bhupinder Singh Mann from the primary membership of the organisation. The decision was taken unanimously in a meeting of the core committee held in Khanna.

BKU (Mann) state president Baldev Singh Mianpur said Mann had never shown interest in the farmers’ struggle. “He was even inclined to join the Supreme Court-appointed committee despite our organisation’s opposition, which is against the interest of the farmers,” he said.

He alleged Mann didn’t participate even in a single protest. “We have also parted ways with the all-India coordination committee, which Mann was heading,” Mianpur said. — TNS
