Khattar blames BKU chief for instigating violence at kisan mahapanchayat in Karnal
Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar has blamed Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) chief Gurnam Singh Charuni for instigating violence at a kisan mahapanchayat programme in Karnal on Sunday. Addressing a press conference hours after protesting farmers vandalised the venue where Khattar was scheduled to speak, the chief minister said the BKU chief also said that Congress and Communist parties had a major role behind the agitations. If I have to hold someone responsible for this, then a video of Gurnam Singh Charuni (Bharatiya Kisan Union chief) has been circulating since day before yesterday wherein he had tried to instigate people. They are getting exposed. I think Congress and Communist parties have a major role behind these agitations, Khattar told reporters.Â
