Mahendragarh: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar was shown black flags by a group of irked farmers when he was addressing 'Jal Adhikari Rally' in Narnol on Sunday.

The demonstrators condemned the new farm laws and shouted slogans against Modi government.

In the video, one of the protestors can be heard saying, 'Modi ne sara desh bech diya'.

However, the BJP volunteers present in the rally immediately swung into action and the agitators were asked to clear the field. Even, the entry of media personnel was restricted.

The tussle between the agitating farmers and the Central govt has escalated over the agri-sector laws. The farmers have been protesting since November 26 at several borders at the national capital and have demanded the repeal of the farm laws.

However, Khattar on Saturday said there can be a way out for the next round of talks between the government and farmer unions.

“In a day or two, there can be a way out for talks. The government is ready for discussion if farmer union leaders come forward beyond yes or no,” Khattar was quoted as saying in a Haryana government statement.

Haryana BJP leaders stated that farmers of the state are in the dire need of SYL canal and Punjab government must do its bid on the same. The leaders had also observed a fast for the speedy resolution of SYL canal.
