Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattar KARNAL/CHANDIGARH: Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khattar’s ‘kisan panchayat’ at Kaimla village in Karnal district on Sunday afternoon had to be cancelled after farmers protesting the Centre’s controversial agri-reform laws ransacked the venue of the meeting. They had also occupied the helipad where Khattar was to land. This is a major setback for Haryana’s BJP-led government which is trying hard to convince farmers about the benefits of the new laws. The incident is also embarrassing for the BJP as Karnal district is Khattar’s home constituency and the saffron party won it with one of the highest margins in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
