News Desk: A day after a Punjab BJP MLA was thrashed by a group of protesting farmers in Muktsar, Indian National Lok Dal (INLD) chief Abhay Singh Chautala on Sunday asked people to treat the other BJP-JJP leaders in the same way. He also alleged that the Punjab BJP legislator was assaulted to defame the farmers protesting against the Centre’s three farm laws.
Making a controversial remark while addressing supporters in Haryana, Chautala asked the people to “tie up BJP-JJP leaders to poles if they enter their villages.” The former Ellenabad MLA went on to say that he had “warned” Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar and other BJP-JJP MLAs that people would tear off their clothes if the farm laws were not repealed.
In an open threat, the INLD leader said whatever incidents of violence have taken place in Punjab will also occur in Haryana if the ruling party leaders try to enter their villages.
