Rakesh Tikait Clarifies As "Burn Crop" Warning Taken Literally In Haryana
Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait's warning that farmers would burn their crops if there is a crackdown on their protest, backfired today. Mr Tikait was forced to issue a clarification after a group of farmers in Haryana's Jind jumped the gun and started pulling crops off their fields. Visuals from Gulkani village showed a group of women and men, raising slogans of Kisan ekta (farmers'unity), pull out crops by hand. A few others escalated the process, driving a tractor over the crops.
