Hisar police station still under siege, farmer injured in ‘attack’ Gurgaon News – Times of India

Hisar: The farmers’ unions continued the siege of Narnaund police station on Saturday for the second day after breaking two windows of the car of Rajya Sabha MP Ramkumar Jangra, who arrived to lay the foundation stone of Jangra Samaj chaupal.
The unions claim that it erupted after someone in the MP’s convoy hit 39-year-old farmer Kuldeep Rana with the butt of a gun. He claims that there are eyewitnesses to the incident.
However, the Hansi superintendent of police claimed that the farmer had an epileptic attack. The farmers union now wants the police to cancel the FIR registered against the farmers and register a case against the MP and his guards, otherwise they threatened to gherao the SP office on Monday.
Significantly, many women were present at the protest site. Former MLA Ram Bhagat and Indian National Lok Dal’s Umaid Lohan, Rajendra Sura, Rajbir Mor and Satbir Sisai were also present there. Commenting on the incident, Suresh Koth of the Kisan Sangh claimed that it was not epilepsy but the butt injury of the rifle that made farmer Kuldeep unconscious, and hence it was a police case. He added: “Yes, he was not injured in the cane charge, but someone hit him with the MP’s car. His family will file a complaint.”
On protests by Jangra Samaj, Suresh Koth claimed that the government wanted to give caste angle to the farmers’ movement even though the participants celebrated Chhotu Ram Jayanti, Vishwakarma Jayanti and other festivals together.
He said that he is not against any particular caste politician, but against the BJP-JJP coalition government.
Meanwhile, Saroj Rana, wife of injured farmer Kuldeep Rana of Sarod Khas, said that the police is claiming that her husband was a patient of epilepsy, but in reality he had not even taken a headache pill for 20 years.
She claimed she had torn a vein in a “police attack” and that doctors had advised her not to speak for 72 hours.
On the other hand, the United Kisan Morcha (SKM), which is spearheading the farmers’ movement, has demanded that BJP MP Ramkumar Jangra and his associates be booked for injuring protestor Kuldeep Rana. He also wants that the Narnaund case against farmers Harshdeep Gill, Kailash and Sudhir be dropped as the injured farmers underwent surgery and their condition remains critical. The SKM warned the BJP-JJP alliance against using colleges and temples for their party’s activities.
In Rohtak, he laid siege to a Shiva temple in Kiloi village and took a group of BJP hostage for several hours.
Meanwhile, the last Ardas will be held in Kheva Dayalpura village of Mansa on Sunday for the three women protesters killed in a road accident on October 28 while protesting in Tikri. A tipper truck crushed Amarjeet Kaur, Gurmail Kaur and Sukhwinder Kaur and seriously injured two other women, Harmeet Kaur and Gurmail Kaur.
The farmers claimed that the compensation given by the Punjab government to their families was too little to repay their loans.
SKM claimed that black marketing is making life difficult for the farming community apart from the continuous shortage of DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) and other fertilizers.
Questioning the NCRB (National Crime Records Bureau) data on farm suicides, it claimed that Bihar, West Bengal, Uttarakhand and Tripura cannot have zero cases without data manipulation.
It claimed that the data for most of the states had been concealed and the data sources were not authentic.
