2 farmer unions withdraw from agitation after condemning acts of violence

New Delhi: Two farmer unions, who were supporting the agitation against the new farm laws enacted by the Centre, have withdrawn from the movement. These farmer unions had been a major part of the ongoing protests. “I am deeply pained by whatever happened in Delhi yesterday (Tuesday) and we are ending our 58-day protest,” said Thakur Bhanu Pratap Singh, president of Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU).

Meanwhile a day after the violence in Delhi by protesting farmers, another leading group spearheading the farmers’ agitation, has said that it is withdrawing from the stir. “Not here to get people martyred,” farmer body Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Sanghatan (RKMS) leader VM Singh told reporters here Wednesday. He also said that his organisation was withdrawing from the ongoing stir.

In a separate development gangster-turned-social activist Lakhbir Singh aka Lakha Sidhana distanced himself Wednesday from the violence during the tractor parade here. He said Wednesday that he and some farmer leaders only marched up to the Outer Ring Road in the national capital.

Lakhbir denied his involvement in the incidents at the Red Fort. He said it is a matter of investigation how people reached the Red Fort despite so much security.

“I am pained at the incidents that took place Tuesday but I am not involved in these. There is no video, photo or other evidence that shows that I instigated people. We had marched towards the Outer Ring Road under our farmer leaders in a peaceful manner. We never had any agenda of going towards the Red Fort,” Lakhbir, who is in his 40s, said over the phone from Chandigarh.

Lakshbir also accused the government and police of conspiring against the farmers’ agitation. He distanced himself from the allegations of instigating protesters, saying he always called for peace.

Lakhbir, a native of Punjab’s Bathinda, has been camping at the Singhu border since November 26. He has dozens of criminal cases registered against him in Punjab. He has served prison terms, but has claimed in the past that he had quit the crime world. Since then he is said to be involved in social work.

Clashes broke out in multiple places, leading to violence in well-known landmarks of Delhi and its suburbs. While there were no exact estimates of how many farmers were hurt, Delhi Police officials said 86 of their men were injured through the day. Of these, 41 were injured at the Red Fort.

A protester died after his tractor overturned near ITO, one of the major flashpoints of trouble.
