Haryana Police Stops Punjab Farmers' Delhi March

Hundreds of farmers from Punjab, who began marching towards Delhi on Tuesday, were stopped by the Haryana Police at the Shambhu border, the entry point to Haryana. The farmers were planning to participate in a Kisan Mahapanchayat in New Delhi to protest against the proposed India-US trade deal.

The Haryana Police have detained BKU (Charuni) chief Gurnam Singh Charuni and blocked key highways to prevent the march from reaching the national capital. The farmers claim that the trade deal will affect agriculture and were heading to Delhi in a peaceful manner.

The Shambhu border between Punjab and Haryana has been sealed with the deployment of the Haryana Police. Authorities have blocked the crossing using heavy barricades to stop protesting farmers from marching towards the national capital.

One of the protesters at Shambhu border said, 'We are carrying the flag of our farmers’ organisation and a stick. Why is the government feeling fearful of us? We are not carrying any weapons. Why were we stopped from moving forward? If the government stops us here, we will sit here for an indefinite sit-in protest.'

Farmer leader from Punjab, Sarwan Singh Pandher, slammed the Haryana government for barricading the Shambhu border point to prevent them from heading towards Delhi to participate in the Kisan Mahapanchayat. He said that they want to put the issue in front of the people of the country and that Punjab should also have a say in the matter.

The protest is against the proposed India-US trade deal, which the farmers claim will affect agriculture. The farmers were planning to hold a one-day rally in Delhi to protest against the deal.

The Haryana Police's decision to stop the farmers' march has been met with criticism from the farmers and their leaders. The farmers have said that they will not back down and will continue to protest against the trade deal.

The issue of the India-US trade deal has been a contentious one, with many farmers and farmer leaders opposing it. The deal is expected to have a significant impact on India's agriculture sector, and the farmers are demanding that the government take their concerns into account.

The protest at the Shambhu border is a significant one, with hundreds of farmers participating. The farmers have said that they will continue to protest until their demands are met.

In conclusion, the Haryana Police's decision to stop the farmers' march has highlighted the contentious issue of the India-US trade deal.
