Farm Leaders Detained as Protests Continue in Punjab
BATHINDA: In a surprising turn of events, several farmer leaders, including Jagjit Singh Dallewal and Sarvan Singh Pandher, were detained by Mohali Police while returning from Chandigarh. This incident occurred despite assurances from Punjab ministers that there were no plans to disrupt the ongoing protests at the two designated sites.
Details of the Detention
The leaders were en route back to the Shambhu border from Chandigarh, where they intended to continue their journey to Khanauri. However, upon reaching the Jagatpura area, police intervened and detained Dallewal inside his ambulance. Other farmers also faced detainment along with their vehicles, leading to some resistance from the protesters. Pandher was reportedly apprehended while attempting to flee from his vehicle.
Farmers had anticipated such actions but expected them to occur at the protest sites in Shambhu and Khanauri. The police swiftly transported those detained to various locations, leaving the farmers in shock.
Implications for the Protests
This incident raises concerns about the ongoing farmer protests and the government’s approach to dealing with dissent. The farmers’ determination to continue their struggle for their rights remains strong, despite these challenges.
