    As farmers and police clash, Gurudwara in Haryana feeds cops

    As farmers and police clash, Gurudwara in Haryana feeds cops

    As farmers and police clash, Gurudwara in Haryana feeds cops

    As farmers clashed with the police during their march to Delhi to protest against three central farm laws, a heart-warming video has come to the fore from Haryana's Karnal area. In the viral clip, the community kitchen of a Gurudwara (Sikh shrine) can be seen serving free meal to a large number of policemen there. Here is more on this.

    Policemen offered rice, dal and vegetables

    In the video, dozens of policemen dressed in uniform, some with lathis, are seen seated facing each other in two long rows. Volunteers from the Gurudwara can be seen serving them rice, dal, vegetables and other food items. More cops can also be seen arriving and sitting down to eat. The event took place along a small bridge over a canal in the city.

    Farmers were allowed to enter Delhi on Friday

    While it is not known whether the said Gurudwara is associated with the protesting farmers, the video offers a touching side of the violent agitation that has shook North India over the past few days. After days of struggle, thousands of farmers from several states, including Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Punjab, were allowed to enter the national capital by the Delhi Police on Friday.

    Farmers unwilling to accept the designated protest site

    Earlier, visuals showed protesting farmers facing teargas, water cannons and barricades put by Delhi Police. The Delhi Police had even sought permission to detain the protesters. However, that request was rejected by the Delhi Government. The farmers were later offered a site in North Delhi to hold the protest. But, many of them said they wanted to go to Ramlila Ground for the protest.

    Why are the new farm laws controversial?

    The three new farm laws, passed earlier in September, are aimed at bringing reforms in the agricultural sector by eliminating the middlemen and enhancing farmers' earnings by allowing them to sell their produce anywhere in the country. However, many farmers and the Opposition parties have claimed that the laws will deprive them of the minimum guaranteed price, leaving them at the mercy of corporates.

    Punjab is responsible for the protest, says Haryana CM

    Meanwhile, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has blamed his counterpart in Punjab, Amarinder Singh, for the protests. "Punjab farmers are protesting. Haryana farmers have stayed away. I thank Haryana farmers and police for showing restraint. Punjab Chief Minister is fanning this protest. Office bearers of the Punjab Chief Minister's office are leading the protest," he told reporters this afternoon.

    'Gone mad with ego': Opposition has slammed the BJP

    Over the ongoing agitation, the BJP has received criticism from several sections. Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala tweeted today that the saffron party-led Haryana government has "gone mad with ego." Further, Samajwadi Party chief and former UP Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav reportedly said, "Treating farmers with such dereliction has never been done by any party except the BJP."
