Tikri, Feb 23: New posters have appeared at the Tikri farmer protest site which warn farmers to disperse failing which legal action would be taken against them.
Titled a ‘legal warning’ by the SHO of Mundka police station, the posters, in Hindi and Punjabi, read: “Your gathering has been declared against the law. You are warned to disperse this gathering otherwise disciplinary action as per law will be taken against you.”
In a statement, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, the umbrella body of farmer unions spearheading the agitation against the agri laws, said that it is opposed to the police’s move as the protesters were exercising their constitutional right and appealed to the farmers to continue their sit-in peacefully.
“The Delhi Police has placed some posters at the Tikri border protest site where farmers have been warned that they will have to vacate the area. Such posters are irrelevant as farmers have been staging a peaceful protest by exercising their constitutional rights….We will oppose the conspiracy to end the protest with these kinds of threats and warnings,” the SKM said in the statement.
