Hundreds of farmers protesting against new farm laws showed black flags to Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar while he was going to Ambala today. The BJP-led government in Haryana has been claiming that only some farmers aren t happy with the new laws. However, the number of farmers, some of who arrived from neighbouring Punjab, has been steadily rising and they have dug in along the border with Delhi.
The farmers today tried to block the long convoy that was escorting Mr Khattar. The police then persuaded them to give way. In visuals, several farmers are seen waving black flags and even sticks at Mr Khattar s convoy.
