New Delhi, Jan 29 (efe-epa).- The Indian farmers’ protest sites against agrarian reforms in New Delhi remained tense on Friday after clashes between a group of counter-protesters, the farmers and the police, in which at least one police officer was seriously injured.
A number of farmers’ leaders accused radical right-wing groups close to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party of carrying out the violence to try and discredit the protesters, while the government alleged that the opposition was stoking the peasants’ protests to gain political mileage.
Violence was reported on Friday at Singhu, one of three entry points to Delhi where thousands of farmers have been camping for more than two months demanding the abolition of the three farm laws that liberalize the agriculture sector.
