New Delhi:The anger of the protesting farmers has started to boil over after three months of agitation as they are upset with the government and the police over the closure of the main roads at the Ghazipur border and notices sent to several protesters.
Farmer leaders held a press conference at the Ghazipur border expressing displeasure over notices by the government sent to protesters for involvement in the January 26 violence.
Farmer leader Jagtar Singh Bajwa said, "The police and the central government have crossed the limits of dictatorship. The government is working to suppress the movement, there is resentment among our colleagues in the entire peasant movement."

Giving an example, Bajwa said, "A woman has got a notice and she has worked in Delhi. Just because her phone was active in the area on Republic Day, she was sent a notice for it."
"Have faith in a democratic country, stop harassing people in support of the movement."
Farmer leaders have made it clear that the people to whom notices are being sent should refuse arrest. A legal panel set up by farmers will respond to these notices.
